Commodure USA PC64

[Piru]

How anyone could take this company seriously is beyond me. They're blatantly stealing artworkd and designs from others, and are happy to break copyright law and use trademark without permission if they can get away with it.

Here's a nice render from Marko Hirv (estonian, now 40 year old guy). Spot the signature in the picture designating the creator of the art:


Here's a picture Commodore USA uses. Modified to match their needs, they also handily removed the signature:


CTO of the company has confirmed that they have had no contact with the copyright holder. Any legimate business knows that copyright is something you don't mess with. You just don't use someone elses work without an agreement.

You did it when you made the post complaining about it.

"Fair use is a doctrine in United States copyright law that allows limited use of copyrighted material without requiring permission from the rights holders, such as for commentary, criticism, news reporting, research, teaching or scholarship."

@Piru

I think he should feel flattered that they've used his work

If it was my work I'd be horrified it was connected to such an operation.

BTW Marko Hirv works as an Art Director in advertising. I doubt he'd be very happy to see his work being used uncredited.
