2a) It is fair for Fairey to be imprisoned because of copyright issues. Because everyone must respect the design of others. He tampered with the evidence to show that he knew the facts but tried to cover up incorrect actions. If Fairey is not punished, everyone will learn from him, and the world will have no morals.
2b) I remembered in my freshman year, my professor told us that we should not use other people’s images or logos privately. I have collected the rights to download or use photos for free on some websites. Respect for copyright is the most basic principle of a designer. If my work is stolen or plagiarized by others, I will also be sad. Because my achievements are not respected by others.
I think “Guide to Copyright” and “The Hope Poster Litigation” are good articles, it is worth every designer to read them carefully and do it.
