Guest pixelives Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 They could make a lot of money off of the shirt since A$AP is quite popular and therein lies the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pyramidpanes Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 biggest problem i have with it is that it removes the context of afx and caters to an ignorant crowd who would buy it for shitty reasons really true that it removes the context wherein lies the problem, (although not even sure that there are that many in existence) as it seem's to be 'luxury brand' ($200+) for a shirt. it's not like it's in H & M or asda's clothing range which thinking about it would actually be way better!!

delet... Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 That's pretty much it in a nutshell. If it was happening to them they wouldn't stand for it. So why should anyone else cut their pointless hipster arses, any slack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delet... Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 This industry relies on exploiting unknown artists by stealing their work from blogs and elsewhere. Sometimes it tests the boundaries by moving up the scale. I'm sure that they'd argue that their image is a reimagining of the original so stands as a novel work of art (because of the writing on it). Be an interesting case, if warp could be fucked defending it. I'm sure they're thinking that in the long run the offending party won't sell many of that line, and it's not like their imagery is getting jacked for profit all the time. So it wouldn't be worth the legal fees. (Not that i'm trying to talk them out of it.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest pixelives Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 I'm sure the furthest Warp will go is a very sternly worded cease and desist letter and anyway I'm sure they have lawyers on the books. These things rarely go to trial. If that doesn't work, a good old black PR campaign will do (which we are helping with already). The clothing label also (as well as Warp) doesn't want to be saddled with lawyer fees during a protracted situation. That's why C+D's work. One silly tee shirt is not worth the trouble.

If I were Rihanna, or AFX, I'd expect some talentless hack to kick some green my way for using my face to sell their bullshit. Especially if it were top shop. Fuck those cunts.

peace 7 Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Due to threads like this, it's positive that the clothing line steal the RDJ Album cover face. 1) RDJ doesn't need more money. 2) Warp doesn't need more money. 3) More promotion for Warp albums, indirectly, by people researching it and coming across threads like this.

Ivan Ooze Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 So, any follow up on this? Aphek$ did not sue suckers fucking lol "Additionally, the ever so popular Face shirt (paying homage to the Aphex twins), which was formerly released as a t-shirt, will now be for sale in long sleeve form with the signature HBA logos featured on the sleeves."this is from about a month ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adieu Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 It would be a cool shirt if it wasn't plastered with logos in true fashion faux paus form. Seriously, if you are putting logos all over your shit you have ventured from art to commerce. It's a shame. This is why a lot of high end designer gear has inconspicuous logos. Because it's about the form not the promotion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
