Negotiations and apologies are said to be underway with the designers, but no matter how you cut it, these tracings look pretty bad. Plus there was that whole thing where his lawyers sent takedown notices to any site that put up the "before and after" shots. Not nice. — BEN POPKEN

Todd Goldman, (of David and Goliath tees ) the "designer" responsible for those "attitude" T-shirts that feature crude drawings with slogans such as "Boys are dumb throw rocks at them," has been accused of selling slightly modified tracings of another artist's cartoon. Sadly for Todd, lots of his "designs" are starting to look... familiar. Todd's lawyers are currently negotiating with the artist he ripped off (above) and there's been some apologizing and what not. Still...

This is really a "let the buyer decide" sort of issue, so we'll just link a bunch of examples so you can, you know, rock that whole caveat emptor thing. —MEGHANN MARCO
