Barack Obama has given direct support to Shepard Fairey, a visual artist who is a known international copyright violator. Obama has had direct contact with Shepard Fairey and has sent Shepard Fairey letters praising his activity and art even though dozens of art organizations are against artists like Shepard Fairey and others who support the Orphan Works bill. This connection needs to be exposed. Where does Obama stand on the rights of artists when he supports Shepard Fairey who has violated the work of Mederos and others?<BR/><BR/>The media keeps trying to paint McCain as being a copyright violator by the songs his campaign has played, but McCain is not directly behind the choice in the songs and in every case so far the campaign bought the rights to use the songs and were nice enough to not use them upon finding out the thoughts of the artists behind them. Obama continues to use the service of Shepard Fairey even though artists have demanded him to stop and to be clear on his position with the Orphan Works bill. Obama has been silent. He won't answer!<BR/><BR/>How is it out of touch when dozens of art organizations have spoken out against artists like Shepard Fairey and the potential of the Orphan Works bill being passed. Seems to me that the Obama campaign is out of touch with the needs of the creative community and that certain people in the creative community are going along with it just because they can't put their politics aside in order to honestly support the rights of artists.<BR/><BR/>You want truth?<BR/>http://lgwilliams.com/obama/obama_poster_challenge2.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-1173748019890252552007-03-12T19:06:00.000-07:002007-03-12T19:06:00.000-07:00If Obama gets the Democratic nomination, the Repub...If Obama gets the Democratic nomination, the Republicans will sift through every detail of his book, find something that he can't prove, call it a lie and then try to get Americans to believe he's a liar.<BR/><BR/>~ RistoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-1173734392658605192007-03-12T15:19:00.000-07:002007-03-12T15:19:00.000-07:00So, what's the story with Obama?Could it just be a...<I>So, what's the story with Obama?</I><BR/><BR/>Could it just be a little bit of good old-fashioned race and poverty pimping à la Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-1173720166216594922007-03-12T11:22:00.000-07:002007-03-12T11:22:00.000-07:00anonymous writes:"...there are reports that "mulat...anonymous writes:<BR/>"...there are reports that "mulattoes"-mixed race people-are more violent and prone to diturbing behavior..."<BR/><BR/>Got a citation for this?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-1173715738600031992007-03-12T10:08:00.000-07:002007-03-12T10:08:00.000-07:00"Dotted every i and crossed every t."It's called T..."Dotted every i and crossed every t."<BR/><BR/>It's called The Will to Power.
