Serial rip’ist is at it again.
One of my first post’s on 12oz was about having my art work and style being biten one too many times. It has happened allot but sometimes
you have to put your foot down. A video director named Melina Matsoukas straight ripped my photography and replicated the setup for an Eve
video. I sued and settled quietly. Now the same director has done it again with the latest Rihanna video S&M, she and Rihanna are being
sued by photographer David Lachapelle for 4 million dollars. To start, we all get inspired by other artist, but you gotta find your own juice, at least when
working in the public arena and start capitalizing. Pay for your samples. Act respectfully. Discourage rippin’.
