Gigapoodle Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 While yes, it's a pretty blatant ripoff, I must say it does look really cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Natalia Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 Nope something psychology related. I've emailed NS inquiring about it. I was gonna use my @muse.mu address and see what kind of official response they gave but I went with the hotmail one instead xD Niall, if you don't get a reply, will you try again from your .mu addy?

occer Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 It's just an image, does it affect or detract from anyone's genuine enjoyment of The Resistance or NewScientist? No. God I hate fucking copyright trolls. Maybe you'd have a point if they were selling the magazine solely on the artwork (therefore profiting from plagiarism) but they're not, so it's a complete non-issue.

occer Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 At current yes, but if the record label/Muse sue them for merely appropriating their artwork then I'd say it is fair that it would be nothing more than a cash grab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calm down, what's with the defensive attitude? How many people have talked about profits and copyrights and suing? It was just pointed out for people's interest. Do not be so aggressive.

How so? They would most likely donate it to Oxfam, or something else of the sort, like they did when Nescafé used Feeling Good in their advert without the band's consent.

shadowkay Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 the article looks pretty interesting actually Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaphod Chizzlebrox Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 It's not plagiarism, the images are different. It may be appropriating the style and idea but because it's not the same image and I'm sure they'll claim it's not intended to be the same image there's no grounds for suing, if indeed that's been mentioned. It's the same as when TV shows want to invoke the imagery of a particular piece of music but can't afford to pay for the rights to the music...their own composers will come up with something that sounds similar but has enough differences to avoid lawsuits.

fizzers Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 The cover is super lame. It looks like it was created with cookie cutters and the album artwork. Cheap move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enemy Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 New Scientist is an absolutely fantastic magazine. I would be happy if they used my album artwork. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bliss :) Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 I get New Scientist quite often. Great magazine + Muse artwork on the cover...... what's not to love? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly. Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 la boca have done work with new scientist before, I saw some a few months back by them edit: oh no wait, it was for wired magazine. Could still be la boca though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominic. Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Surely the image actually used for The Resistance artwork, all the promotion artwork such as on the wembley tickets, the booklet artwork, this on the New Scientist magazine, and the pic that Olly linked, could all have been comissioned by Muse, with them asking for something that could fit the theme of Exogenesis/1984, and then Muse use all the pieces they wanted, and the rest (such as the New Scientist piece and the other one Olly linked) would be available to anyone who wants to buy the rights to them? if you get what I mean?

Wired magazine has some amazing artwork And it wasn't La Boca I'll have a look who the artist is when I go to work on Weds.

I don't think the Exo artwork was made after this one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
