Apple Stealing Art?


The world is in love with Apple right now. With the iphone having such a great debut and everyone has an ipod (or should, right?).

But everything might not be right in Cupertino!!!

Rumors are suggesting that Apple might be ripping off artists. Say it ain't so!

From G4TV.com:
Artist Louis Psihoyos filed suit against Apple for supposedly ripping off his wall of digital photos.

Christian Marclay was in talks with Apple to license his short film, but they (supposedly) just shot their own version of it and used that.

Compare Lugz Shoes' Fall 2002 commercial, and Apple's 2006 Eminem / iTunes ad. Apple pulled the ad after a cease-and-desist order was sent.

Another Apple ad looks like a shot-for-shot remake of The Postal Service's music video.

This might get interesting.
