Terminator: Sarah Connor Ad Copies Student Work
Blatant Rip-Offs - Terminator: Sarah Connor Ad Copies Student Work (GALLERY) 2

While being “inspired by” and “paying homage” to the work of another artist is one thing, blatantly copying someone’s work without crediting them is another story. The fact that it’s a big player like Fox channel who is ripping the work of a student makes it much worse.

The new “Terminator - Sarah Connor Chronicles” advertisement clearly and liberally copies the work of an advertisement student that had been posted on their blog several months ahead of the Fox campaign.

I think the resemblance is striking and obviously more than a coincidence.

All Fox needed to do was credit the poor student and pay him to use his work. What do you think?

OMG, poor student. It would be amazing to have your work be picked up my such a big company, but not to get credit hurts. Who is the student?? I hope this article drives her lots of exposure!!!

Pfft...the original is so much better, too. The ripoff totally alters the statement of it.
