sittingduck said 4 months ago

alrightok said 4 months ago

Randomentity said 4 months ago

seibei said 4 months ago
it is almost too ridiculous but I wouldn’t be surprised, knaamean?
MickyMays said 4 months ago
yeah i’m kinda hoping this is just a manticores training exercise
heavyprints said 4 months ago
Google bounced the email back to me. Here’s what I wrote, though:
Dear Sir,
I am Bob, of the WestSide Mordor Manticores. I am one of the founding members, and take my seat of privilege very seriously. We are Activists in the field of artists rights and... Eh, hey wait. You already know all about Manticores, huh? You yoinked half of Emptees and built yourself a rad ass portfolio. Awesome.
So, here’s the thing. We’re going to hound you and drag your name through the mud until all of these rips go away. Wherever you go, whatever you change your username to - we will find you, we will expose you, and we will do badass choreographed dances. That’s right, dance fights! Anyway, take the shit down. Douche.
xoxo,
Bob

MykeCatastrophic said 4 months ago
Holy shit! I can’t even count the amount of rips there. Aaron Crawford, Ben Lande, Beforehisfall (I believe) and more only on the first page!
migz said 4 months ago

Joe said 4 months ago
If the designs are yours, you need to file a claim through Yahoo and his flickr accounts will get shut down. The info on that is here: http://info.yahoo.com/copyright/details.html

jaynajaynajayna said 4 months ago

MadeByMAS said 4 months ago
Im starting to think that they are 2 different guys. The info I posted could be from another guy...not sure. Maybe this is just how things are done over there.
Survival said 4 months ago
i sent him an email anyway...
LaurieShipley said 4 months ago
Did anyone notice that he is also claiming KOA’s work as his own? No fucking way!
ps Geez why do I have such a potty mouth?
derekdeal said 4 months ago
update

i responded with this, i hope he gets the picture
hideouscarwreck said 4 months ago
i’m sure flickr will sort it out ... but still ... didn’t we learn in like third grade when writing our first essays that plagiarisms is NOT tolerated?!
Perudoesitbetter said 4 months ago
wow, thats pretty bad. Worse rip i’ve seen in years.
'hay aparecen los diseños con sus respectivos codigos para ser pedidos atravez del MSN!! saludos a todos ;D'
translation if anyone cares.
'The designs show up with there respective codes to be ordered via MSN!! Hi to everyone ;D'
Benjamin Lande said 4 months ago
wow, i need new mock ups or something. I’ve been avoiding watermarks but I may have to go there..
derekdeal said 4 months ago
translation please?
aqui en mi pais, no hay forma de conseguir poleras de las marcas con las que tú trabajas, como rockett y muchas mas, se pueden conseguir a travez de internet pero los precios para que llegen aqui sobrepasan mucho lo que vale una polera de alto costo, solo lo hacemos para que la gente conosca otro tipo de arte, que se ve muy poco por aqui y poder masificarla un poco mas, si la gente quiere gastar mucho dinero en las poleras que ustedes hacen en su pais,
excelente! nosotros hacemos llegar SU! trabajo a mucha gente que no puede pagar lo que cuesta una de SUS poleras a travez de internet
volatile v said 4 months ago
here in my country, there is no form to obtain poleras(proof) of the marks with which you work, like rockett and many but, can be obtained to travez(?) of Internet but the prices so that they llegen(cost) here exceed much what polera(peru-money?) is worth one of high cost, we only do it so that people conosca(can meet/see) another type of art, that is very little seen this way and be able to amass it a little but, if people want to spend much money in poleras(peru-money) that you you do in her country, excellent! we make arrive HIS(we make your work here?)! work(available) to much people who cannot pay what poleras(the cost) to travez(i assume this means to afford shipping) of Internet costs one of HIS(your designs i suppose)
yeah babelfish, and my guesses in (these)
so it seems like he is saying he’s producing your work to people in peru because they can’t afford to buy it in american dollars because the exchange rate is super high and bones them in the ass, which he explains by saying that he wants to make your art available to people who have never seen something of that sort.
Perudoesitbetter said 4 months ago
i thought he lived in chile.
polera means t-shirt im pretty sure.
horsebites said 4 months ago
WTF!? How does he think that gives him the right to sell our work just because some people in south america can’t afford it? That makes no sense to me and is an awful way to look at it.
volatile v said 4 months ago
oh, man, i was thinking peru after seeing your name haha.
gengen said 4 months ago
here in my country, there is no way to obtain clothing of the marks with which you work, like rockett and many but, can be obtained through the Internet but the prices so that they get here (get shipped he means) exceed much what the clothing of high cost is worth, we only do it so that people can learn/know/find out about another type of art, that we see very little around here and be able to amass it a little but, if people want to spend a lot of money on clothing that you make in your country, then excellent! We help your work get to many people who will not be able to pay what it costs for one of your items of clothing via the internet.
direct translation. not peruvian, but im cuban and speak perfect spanish. this kid is a dumbass. the end.
Perudoesitbetter said 4 months ago
yeah it’s a pretty stupid rationale if you ask me.
stealing, borrowing, pirateering of products...is common practice in most south american countries. But its still wrong.
LaurieShipley said 4 months ago
Dude, tell him thats bullshit and that ain’t ganna fly!
He keeps deleting our comments, an indicator he knows what he is doing wrong. I’ve had a pretty good day today but a handful of people are causing my blood pressure to rise and my eyes are about to pop out of my face.
Perudoesitbetter said 4 months ago
Yeah polera and peru ar quite similar. haha...no big.
unless you send a hitman...idk if theres much gonna be done?
ChadDoesDesign said 4 months ago
you dont feel for the poor out of style chilians? haha jk that shit is bull.
horsebites said 4 months ago
The funny part is I’m chilean and I’m getting screwed by one of my peeps! AAAAARRRGGHH!!!! Don’t give my family a bad name!

Perudoesitbetter said 4 months ago

Perudoesitbetter said 4 months ago

horsebites said 4 months ago
Yeah and he will look like this when he sees the guy in person!

EMPTEES PARTY DUDES 4EVA!!!
heroes said 4 months ago
all i can say is way to go jimmy
derekdeal said 4 months ago
hahaha, thats awesome, jimmy looks crazy, i think he’s still yelling at those dudes that poked him in the eye
heavyprints said 4 months ago
It looks like someone got punched in the gut just off camera. lol
horsebites said 4 months ago
WHAT!!??! I didn’t know someone poked him in the eye! God! I wish I didn’t black out!
derekdeal said 4 months ago
yeah he almost brawled, i missed it too, i barely even remember the story haha
justgeoff said 4 months ago
I’ve got a buzz going on. In case anyone cares. :(
heavyprints said 4 months ago
Woooo!
derekdeal said 4 months ago
turn that frown upside down mister, its a celebration bitches....
free tshirts for all the chilean children
LaurieShipley said 4 months ago
Ha! You’ve always got a buzz on!
justgeoff said 4 months ago
Some chick I know tends bar at a shitty townie bar. I got to drink for free. Of course the whole time I was there I was hating myself for being in that sucking hole of disappointment. Not for nothing, I got a nice buzz and am feeling gooooOOOOOooooodddd.
horsebites said 4 months ago
Did he happen to look like this?
Sorry Jimmy but you were such a ruling dude that I need to expose the hulk in you! Chris Parks also looks like a pirate. Best times.
justgeoff said 4 months ago
Lately this is very true. I’m a degenerate. Soon someone is going to find me dead in a hotel that charges by the hour with a beer in one hand, my cock in the other and my belt around my neck. Man, I’m gonna be embarrassed.
MickyMays said 4 months ago
hahaha you sir, are the man
edgillustrator said 4 months ago
and also, is it just me or is the idiot selling the shirts for $9 000 ?
LitoQ said 4 months ago
this is a joke right?
jimmyheartcore said 4 months ago
Here’s how it went down:
Me and a girl friend are sitting outside. There’s one random dude outside smoking a cigarette. That’s it.
Three dudes walk by the bar talking shit about the types of kids hanging out there, make a snide remark about my friend.
I tell them that the bar rules, and that they’re the ones who suck.
They are ghetto.
They spout back, "Are you talking shit? What did you say?"
"I said -- I will kick all three of your asses at the same time."
One guy comes up where I am calmly sitting on the bench and (accidentally) pokes me in the eye while he is making some threatening gestures at me.
I jump up and start at him. His friend grabs him around the neck and pulls him away. I say various things questioning his manhood, including some remarks about what may or may not be dripping from his vagina to poke me in the eye while I’m sitting down, but get conveniently dragged off when I stand up. This includes various combinations of bitch, pussy, and cunt.
One of his friends (Eminem) hangs around. I have no real beef with him other than the fact that his turdly buddy poked me in the eye. He is so insistent upon the fact that he hung back while his friends left him, that I figured I would engage him.
Kim (friend) jumps between us and yells out, "Get out of here, fizzbitch."
I’m still talking shit to this guy who’s a boner for hanging back while his friends are ditching him. He keeps taking his hat off and throwing it onto the ground while taking a stance like a fucking boxer from the nineteen-thirties. Douche.
I am really blatantly disrespecting him verbally. Calling him all kinds of shit, yelling at his bitch ass friends to come back and face me. Getting in the dude’s face and yelling for him to hit me so I can murder him.
Nothing.
The guy who drug the other guy off comes running back, and I’m ready to drop him. Just as I think he’s going to pounce on me he grabs Eminem by the collar and drags him off too.
I say, "Your friend needs to apologize to me and my friend for being such a rude little bitch."
The dragger says, "I’ll apologize for him, I am really sorry.".
Ironic thing? He’s the one who was talking shit in the first place, and started back around when I told them that they sucked.
Pussies.
Out of the bar like 1 minute later comes Derek Deal, Horsebites and the whole crew. The only person who saw any of it was Palehorse, me, and my friend Kim.
Boo.
The best shit always happens when nobody is around.
derekdeal said 4 months ago
its all coming back now, i thought it was 'fizzdick' though, HA!
jimmyheartcore said 4 months ago
We’ve been debating that back and forth.
Fizzbitch rolls off of the tongue more - but I think Fizzdick is more of an insult.
heavyprints said 4 months ago
Somehow I didn’t take you for the bar room brawl type. That sounds like an interesting night. lol
jimmyheartcore said 4 months ago
I’m usually not confrontational like that.
The fact that they were talking shit, trying to act all hard and tough, and then poked me in the eye got me really pissed off.
The icing on the cake was that the three of them didn’t want to fight me after I stood up.
gaunty said 4 months ago
I speak spanish Derek so if you need to send an email sling it to me in English and I’ll write it for you.
gaunty said 4 months ago

I really hope this guy believes you can print a t-shirt from the mock. If so, he deserves to have them, otherwise bring on the manticores.

Carry on, people.
OhioLeslie said 4 months ago
wow.. i missed a lot last night!
i can’t believe this insane rip.. joke, yes?
heavyprints.. your email to rippy mcripperson.. hilarious.
DID anyone call him?
jimmy.. your story.. "I will kick all three of your asses at the same time."
i’m crying from both anger (over the rip) and intense amusement (this thread).
LaurieShipley said 4 months ago
I emailed Koa about it, he’s sending his lawyers in to blast the dude. Woooo! At least then maybe the rip douche will get the seriousness of it and take all the images down.
nadameansnothing.com said 4 months ago
Hey guys this fuckers are from my country....FUCK this....and yes he is currently selling your rips along with some of mine i saw in one the "catalogs" he is offering....i dont know his name but i do know he is from a small town in galaxy far far away from the capital where i live in, Santiago. I really dont know what to say but YES this is not a joke and YES he is in FACT selling your shirts! i mean ripped copies of em....this shit happens alot down here....im so sorry ....they only thing i can do i dont know...call the cops or something?.
nadameansnothing.com said 4 months ago
putting lawyers into him wont keep him away from selling those rips trust me....this FUCKS are serious deal....he probably doesnt even know english so he probably wont understand half of what the lawyer may write him (just check most of the spelling on the band names). you need to (literally) KICK their asses so they can notice that what they are doing is wrong....it SUCKS i know...but thats the way this fucks works...ive been ripped TONS down here....
nadameansnothing.com said 4 months ago
they dont care they just take the mock down re trace it ( i know they dont get all the details) and then they just print it....which it sucks...but thats they this fucks works...
LaurieShipley said 4 months ago
Bummer dude, but I think since Koa is HUGE and very well known he has his shit together. The dude has the power to stop people from selling his own work and a legal document can be delivered in any language. http://www.koadzn.com/
A good beating wouldn’t hurt though.
nadameansnothing.com said 4 months ago
if anything i can help you guys out...phone numbers, address, names, etc etc etc....just hit me up over cleskovsek@yahoo.com
derekdeal said 4 months ago
how much is a chilean beatdown squad? or maybe we could just hire the a team?
nadameansnothing.com said 4 months ago
hahahahah...hmmm probably cheaper than getting the A team. also about the prices he is talking about on previous emails you guys got....he is selling your rips bit more expensive than what you guys are selling through the net so i dont really see the "getting fair prices to the people" he even preaching....FUCK THIS FUCK!
horsebites said 4 months ago
HA! Chilean Beatdown Squad! I think I was in that band!
horsebites said 4 months ago
Wow Jimmy, I didn’t know this happened. That sux, I feel like a dummy for walking out and being totally clueless.
Also, I’m letting the Less Than Jake dudes know about the guy selling shirts of theirs. I’m sure they have some decent legal power but it also seems like issues like this in South America are untouchable.
