Does the Pavilion need to have the plagiarism talk with Folkerts?
l3wis I guess some people never learn. Below Jason brags about plagiarizing Peanuts cartoons and handing them out to kids at the Pavilion. After Schulz died Disney took ownership of the cartoons copyrights. There is nothing wrong with drawing these toons for his own use and pleasure, but using them as marketing for the Pavilion, even if they are not being sold, is a No, No, unless they got consent (which they might have, but I highly doubt it).
But this isn’t Jason’s first rodeo doing this. Schulz never appreciated it when he was alive either.
Jason also took a stab at Star Wars.
I wonder if Jason knows about this handy contact list?
The troubling part is that Jason is doing this while representing the Pavilion as the Visual Arts Director for a city contractor on city property. If Disney gets wind of his plagiarism, a lot of people could be in a lot of hot water besides just Mr. Folkerts.
Jason, we both know you are talented enough to draw your own cartoons, so next time, hand out Folkert’s originals.
