Interesting article.. guy gets almost $300k for copyright infringement. Interesting that there was a fine of 50,000 euros for "damages to the image of the work that resulted from the poor quality of the reproductions."

Double whammy.. not only do you get the hit for copying it, but doubly so for copying it BADLY.

Heheh..

I'm thinking he should be fined for what he's wearing in that picture as well. WTF?

I think you'll be OK, they have a thin candy shell. I'm surprised you didn't know that.

At first I thought that then realized.. "Well, yeah.. I guess that's what a stereotypical fashion designer should look like.."

Fruitcake.

Coolness.
Hopefully he won't try to pay it off in the "value" of his work.
