Less
than 5% "own" creative share - and no permission at all
These
are the poor remains of the "ITALIAN SOFTWARE COMPANY's" own "creative"
share. But - even those
elements were taken from the original image, except the mobile phone
and the temple-like building. We must not forget that any change or manipulation within a
protected work requires an explicit
permission
of the copyright owner. Wolfgang Karner as the only creator of this
visualization is the only copyright owner! The "ITALIAN SOFTWARE
COMPANY" never got in touch with Wolfgang Karner or tried to reach for
the
necessary permission for this manipulation.
We must consider this manipulation of Wolfgang Karner's work
as a severe copyright infringement. Nevertheless we always
tried to find a constructive arrangement for both parties. The "ITALIAN SOFTWARE COMPANY"
denied any copyright infringement and declared the "Italian software
company's"
falsifications as a "new and original
image". The "ITALIAN SOFTWARE COMPANY"
consequently refused to negocate - especially after we rejected a
sudden, ridiculous 15%
offer of the appropriate compensation fee.
