Topic: WTB: Keyboard Fork (black plastic keys) for Casio SK-1 (0 replies, posted in Trading Post)

Hi! My casio's keys are not in the best condition and was hoping someone had a spare fork that I could replace mine with. I can take a picture of mine if anyone does not know what I'm talking about. Not sure how much they would be worth but it's just plastic so perhaps $5 + shipping? Let me know.

Why doesn't that philosophy hold true to this guy?

In my opinion, the guy saw an opportunity to make some money and had the lawyers to back him.
Like CDK said, if he wasn't after the money and rather, preserving the copyright of the photograph, he could have sent a cease and desist.

Topic: Andy Baio of Kind of Bloop faces legal action for his cover art (57 replies, posted in General Discussion)

The creator of the successful Miles Davis chiptune cover album Kind of Bloop, Andy Baio, was recently accused of copyright infringement by Jay Maisel who took the photograph of Miles Davis in the original album, Kind of Blue. Baio asked a friend to make a pixel-art version of the album cover as the cover for Kind of Bloop.
Here are the two covers

It's pretty sad since Baio put so much work into the album, organizing it, licensing all of the covered songs, and now he is stuck paying around $40,000 in legal fees.

It breaks my heart that a project I did for fun, on the side, and out of pure love and dedication to the source material ended up costing me so much - emotionally and financially. For me, the chilling effect is palpably real. I've felt irrationally skittish about publishing almost anything since this happened. But the right to discuss the case publicly was one concession I demanded, and I felt obligated to use it. I wish more people did the same - maybe we wouldn't all feel so alone.

Here's the full story

edit: fixed a fact (bBaio did not make the artwork, his friend did)

I met Parris earlier this year at Magfest, really nice guy.
As a fellow Mid-Atlantic chiptuner, I especially root for his success.
Happy birthday dude!

Just one thing... If you contacted him with a PM here, keep in mind that no e-mails are sent out when someone gets a PM. They won't see it until they visit the site.

This should be an option
