I see people are insulting me here, showing their open and entirely unprovoked hostility. <br /> <br />I have made the reply it deserves. <br />¨ <br />I responded to that e-mail by snowman. I sent it with about 200 copies to influential addresses aroiund the world, so they should know what´s goin on here. <br /> <br />My reply runs like this: <br /> <br />"First, this is completely untrue. <br /> <br />I do image processing, that is, I use images collected from the web, change them, moderate them, mix them and and reshape them till it´s perfectly clear I have bestowed the my persmnal and absolöutely unique quality. <br /> <br />Secondly, this is nothging but a shameful insult. I see lots of plagiats on the wallpaper sites all around the web, and nobody cares aboutit the slightest; I have in kore than one instance pointed out the most shameless and ovious . What it´s all about is you perfid hoistility against me as an o-r-i-go-n-a-l seeking new methods and new modes of expression. Those imitators, dilletantes and plagiarizers swamping wall paper world with their juvenile trash feel threatened by competition, and they endeavor to stop me and strangle me at all cost. That "copyright" bullshit is nothing but a sham, a fake, a sirty trick and a subterfuge to murder me existentially as an artist. <br /> <br />Thirdly it´s outright perverse. Among artists counting, there does exist an intercommunication and a mutual exchange of influences. This is the very spirit of art. Untalented people belonging to a stifled and arid conservative styl of repetition, imitation, and indeed plagiarism, cannot handle this, and such is the Banality Of Evil, that they do not shy away from anything to stop genuine talent. Acoordingly, any wallpaper site is just swamped down with "works" that are, nothing but imitatrion and repetition, and indeede plagiarism. This is the way to stay along with the stupid, and the mean. <br /> <br />Fourthly it´s absurd, since absolutely any work using materials found in other pictures virtuaölly makes any fuigurative work "violation of copyright". Consequently, you are endeavoring, NOT to protect any art of personal quality and uniqueness, but, contrarily, make art in essence impossible, wiping out a whole genre. This is Sovietism, tyranny and dictatorship, and must in the end be fought down using revolutionary methods. <br /> <br />Fifthly, I will not cave in to poisonous threats like this. My works are aölready out in thousands all over the world; any person knowledgeable abourt wallpaper art know me as the absolutu opposit of a plagiarizer: an independendet, pioneerin and genuinely original artist. It´s within my power to make myself known, and toascertain the survival of mmy art. <br /> <br />I have made art for 25 years as a poet and a image artuist, and as a pathfinder, I have coinsistently encountered the vicious hostility of the Establishment, sopping me, smotrheringe me, murdering me existentially; because such is indeed the Banality Of Evil. <br /> <br />To bereave an artist of his possibility of expression is murder, sapiritual murder, existentially murder. You are, coonsequently and in essence, threatening me to my life, and I have the right to defend myself. And you are not alone; the Establishment, the multitude of it, has been trying to murder me for all my life. Iwill not, I repeat, Iwill NOT allow this to happen. <br /> <br />Now let´s make a thought experiment. Suppose I start out a new career as a terrorist, as a serial killer, or whatever. If I finally get caught, all will learn about it, and my pictures and poems, readily avilable on uncountable sites around the world web, will be the flash of the days and downloaded by hundred and thousands. It wiuld be the ultimate self marketing. You just consider this this thought as a principle shedding it´s most telling sidelight on this dirty artkilling project of yours. <br /> <br />Finally, I strongly urge you NOT showing agaionst me an entirely unprovoked hostiliy agains me like this again, because if you do, I can assure you, you will be guaranteed <br /> <br />to bleed. <br /> <br />For the future, I will take great care only using image materials in a fragmented form, so that no one may reasonably make such a false accusation against me again . <br /> <br />Peter Ingestad <br />Solna <br />Sweden <br /> <br />--- <br /> <br />
