My video response to the whole outrageous scandal. In short, Chad Love Lieberman, claiming to be US Senator Joe Lieberman's nephew, stole thousands of art works from artists on www.deviantart.com (high level professional quality works) and sold them for millions, using some of the money to insure his testicles claiming "for some reason girls are always trying to grab them."
Not only that but he plagiarized copyright law articles, and even an article defending plagiarism. You can find more information here and even a google search with the keywords "Chad Love Lieberman" will bring up plenty more articles. It's been 5 days since the scandal broke out on the net with piles and piles of evidence and many news agencies have been contacted since day 1, not one has broadcasted the story yet. Normally they'd snap up a story like this as soon as possible, however artists are claiming news sites are blocking them from sending in story tips.
I decided to take this to the next step. If the media won't expose him, then maybe Anonymous could help the artists. However it's even doubtful they'd care too. We're artists afterall the general public mindset is that for some reason we should give away all our hardwork for free and let other people claim credit for works we poured our hearts and souls into and let them make thousands of dollars off us that we'll never see.
Would you let your own boss get away with not paying you for 100 hours or work? Ah forget it. I don't think people can even understand the sentimental value these works have to us.

..good.... now that they caught him, they need to make him send all the money he make from the sales, to the original artists, to each according the amount each artwork sold...
...and after this, they need to make him do social work for 1 year... to paint governmental and other public buildings who need a refresh on their outside surface... while giving him the minimum wage that the average governmental employee takes... ;)
