LEGAL INFORMATION
Aggressive civil action is being taken to defend copyrights and brand value. I appreciate all of you who have informed me of activities involving my artwork worldwide. Without your continued assistance and kindness we simply would never know of many of the copyright violations, infringements, defaming statements being written & published.
Re; Phone calls, emails, articles etc. please continue to simply forward these to me as you have done. Our lawyers can subpoena servers for real names, addresses, phone records and personal information-even overseas. Please simply forward the links, statements, letters or emails.
We have been forwarded several negatively biased emails originating from the supposedly neutral parties see CODE OF ETHICS , quoted from the code—"Avoid conflicts of interest, real or perceived.
— Remain free of associations and activities that may compromise integrity or damage credibility."
This includes blogs etc anything published. Even if the pages or emails are deleted later they can all be recovered. We are building a file against people like these.
As of June 2010 no one has been authorized to issue or print the images of my artwork & any found being offered for sale are illegal. My DVD covers have been changed to reduce the number of pirated copies being sold as originals.
Prints of my work being sold on ebay from China & other countries are stolen. All artwork is automatically copyrighted when created in America, after the artist's death the artist's heirs own the copyrights.
