# there were pictures of santa in red before Coke though
"Although some versions of the Santa Claus figure still had him attired in various colors of outfits past the beginning of the 20th century, the jolly, ruddy, sack-carrying Santa with a red suit and flowing white whiskers had become the standard image of Santa Claus by the 1920s, several years before Sundlom drew his first Santa illustration for Coca-Cola.

I think there's a case for web creatives to organise and create some form of legal/union/copyright entity to stop this as it's on the increase (Beau D'Jour has he same problem)- by forming a group it offers a good defence against any corporate rip off - which can be intimidating to the individual

# do you mean Beau bo d'or
or soup du jour..
I think this is a good idea like the paparazzi collective were people get paid for photos, I've suggested before that B3ta be an ad agency and therefore protecting all images posted. By being just a forum people aren't scared to steal and print the work if it was a legit entity they might be..

theres enough of us that we could seriously have no impact whatsoever on what they care

edit: assuming any of us had friends, and they could be arsed to care, etc, we could at least get a good half dozen people, or maybe even more, to stop purchasing their product

That is utterly disgraceful. I mean Joel's work is already familiar to people because of the Crusha and Maestro ads amongst others, and these fuckers are just copying him without actually employing him.
