I don’t perceive Ripps authorized argument. It sounds prefer it’s principally “as a result of they’re based mostly on Nazi imagery, it’s truthful use if I wish to capitalize on the criticism of it.”
However whether or not or not they’re based mostly on Nazi imagery is irrelevant right here. What the paintings relies on doesn’t matter. He’s free to criticize the paintings, and parody it. The realm that he must be involved with was whether or not or not it appeared like he was profiting off the shoppers confusion on whether or not or not his artwork work was truly BAYC official product.
This seems like he is aware of that he’s going to lose the lawsuit and the lawfirm is now pushing puff items to love this one in hopes that BAYC figures the lawsuit is extra bother than it’s value. Fairly fucked up actually, hope he will get slaughtered in court docket. However this can virtually definitely be settled out of court docket.
