That's how culture spreads and evolves. Why should modern aborigonal art be immune?

Excuse me, are you suggesting Mr Squiggle was a dirty Boong?

Impossible. He lived in a rocket ship, had a pencil for a nose and loved squiggles.

Okay, 2 out of 3's not bad. We all like squiggles, no?

Indonesians are selling shyteloads of knockoff Aboriginal art and claiming it as Aboriginal.

Most of em were taught dot painting by non aboriginals at TAFE Grin

Reply #11 - Mar 19^th, 2019 at 8:14pm Well apparently the USA Hollywood Media can take other nations and people's history and make its own version - even with a Token Black Man in it, which is entirely incorrect to the historical records. But when it comes to the Media, the 'History' is a lie, especially of 'white history'.

I saw a documentary on Mr Squiggle and he was not a Boong or a Muslim, nor did he have an agenda like Waleed, imagine the influence he could have on the youngsters these days if he did.

that doesn't make it legal Roll Eyes

Listen numbnuts.
Every Tradmark and Copyright Attorney will tell you and teach you in 'official' Educational Seminars as well, that its not about right or wrong or about 'legal' - its about the DEEPEST POCKET!
Hell, go listen to what Dyson (Vaccuums) had to do because his pocket wasn't deep enough at the time. Go listen to the CD's of all the other great innovators and see what they had to deal with.

In the great 'global' scheme of things - Aboriginals have to make up their minds as to what is most important to them?
Their ART or their ...land (or something else entirely, maybe even the white man's 'money'???? Huh
