Donna Karan steals photographers images

DKNY uses 300 of US photographer’s photos  in a Bangkok shop window display without permission or compensation after the fashion firm fails to negotiate on use. DKNY offers the bullshit excuse, “it appears that inadvertently the store in Bangkok used an internal mock up containing some of Mr Stanton’s images.” http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-21599919 “We apologize for this error and are working to ensure that only the approved artwork is used.” The firm’s contrition was not universally accepted online, with commenters on both Facebook pages expressing disbelief that the poster was printed and shipped to Bangkok by mistake.
