RT VEGAS:"I finally got published...in a plagiarized book!"
Darren Di Lieto, the creator and editor of LCS Little Chimp Society illustration site, discovered recently many interviews he has written for his blog and dozens of the artists work he's has featured have been plagiarized in a published 350 page book that came out recently selling on line for $100. You can read more about this here on his personal blog to get all the details. Here is the email I received from him on April 17th 2008:
Hi RT,
I'm a bit devastated to inform you that a book has been published without my knowledge that uses a number of your illustrations. :(
If you want to email me feel free or if you're going to pursue legal action please let me know.
Regards, Darren

Artists and supporters are asking for people to not buy the book and anyone who comes in contact with the book to consult the manager of the shop to inform them of the situation. Many thanks! RT Vegas
