The artist who painted
a nude portrait of Donald Trump might be landing in a bit of hot water, due to
the fact that Trump is now threatening lawsuits over the artist’s work.
Ilma Gore, the artist who painted the famous nude portrait of
Trump, has been getting threats from Trump’s legal team of
impending lawsuits –
plus they are also issuing Digital Millenium Copyright claims against her via
Facebook.
Facebook has actually been conceding to the claims and they have
also warned her of legal action under the same premise.
Think about it. Out of the oodles and oodles of Trump pictures
online, the only one he can file copyright over is one showing his wiener.
This
means that Trump actually is claiming copyright on his penis.
Let’s think about
that for just about five seconds or so…
Once the image hit the internet, it went instantly viral and has
gotten bids for over £100,000 after it went on display this month in London at
the Maddox Gallery.
As
hilarious as this is, for obvious reasons, Ilma Gore has had some very serious
blowback that isn’t funny at all.
Ms. Gore also said that since the image of the painting hit the
internet, she has also been receiving many threats of rape, death threats, and
had to deal with several stalkers at her home.
It’s typical of a Trump supporter, or even just your average
Republican – when a woman does something to make you angry, threaten her with
physical violence, terrorism, and death. At least Trump’s supporters are an
accurate depiction of the man.
The portrait got a big boost in publicity due to an unexpected
development during the Republican primary season.
Ms. Gore painted the portrait in February, but not long after
that Trump started bragging about the size of his manhood during presidential
debates.
You literally couldn’t buy a better publicizing platform for
your work than that.
As I see it, Trump has two options here. He can either claim the
painting is defamation by visually proving in court that it
misrepresents his genitalia in some disparaging way, or he can
enforce copyright by proving it’s identical.
So, what’s it gonna be, Donald?
