Regular Boing Boing readers have seen me credit This Isn’t Happiness many times for wonderful visual and audio finds. We’ve been linking to Peter Nidzgorski’s work since way back …
Deanna Dahlsad's insight:

The automated process (& negative consequences) of DMCA takedowns is out of control at many sites & hosting companies. I'm all for intellectual property rights (as a content creator I sure am!), but the current process, or lack thereof, is very troublesome.

The Escher Girls DMCA Story

The Escher Girls DMCA Story | Readin', 'Ritin', and (Publishing) 'Rithmetic | Scoop.it
From eschergirls.tumblr.com - August 8, 2014 1:35 PM

So yesterday I found out that Randy Queen (artist of DarkChylde) filed a bunch of DMCA takedown notices to Tumblr to remove posts of his covers on this blog (the entire posts, not just the images)....


...other artists and publishers seem to understand Escher Girls & other similar sites are fair use and criticism, and that fan discussion, positive or negative, is important and helpful to their business. (In fact, the creators I’ve interacted with are either fans of EG, or expressed disagreement but know that it’s fan criticism.)

Deanna Dahlsad's insight:

This post covers the beginnings of the story and the updates or ending of the story is here. I post this not as a means of bullying any artist or copyright holder, nor of any blogger, etc., but as a means of understanding intellectual property issues, especially as they are involved in web or self-publishing works.

It's as easy to romanticize the past as it is to demonize it; instead, let's learn from it.
