An Open Letter to Filipino Graphic Designers & Other Young Artists

Oct 02, 2008 20:08

Yeah I get his point, but he said a whole bunch of unnecessary irrelevant things that are ANNOYING.

Like...downloading FONTS off the internet. People upload those things so that they CAN be downloaded. And a lot of these font sites are for FREE. And That whole thing about street artists not owning the wall. Unnecessary mention. It's a public structure. Do they really have to go "Thank you to Manong Karpintero for building this wall."

It just sounds like he's taking away people's RIGHT to complain about their work because they use pirated software. It's not like if we had money we'd still use pirated stuff anyway.

Eh following his logic, it's like saying:
We lied and disobeyed our parents; when our kids do the same, we have no right to get mad at them. :|
