8-Bit Keyboard Cat T-Shirts!

I’ll get to the title soon, but first…

Anyone who knows me probably knows that I despise people who use others’ ideas and don’t give credit. I have no problem with being inspired by other artists and basing new creative efforts on their work,  but I always credit my sources and link to them.

While it’s shameful to use someone else’s idea and not credit them, it’s downright dispicable to sell someone else’s design for your own profit, which is exactly what happened with the 8-bit interpretation of the keyboard cat that Jude Buffum created!

I won’t go into details in order to protect the identity of the person that did this, but I will say that running a design that someone else spent hours making through PC-Stitch and selling them online, making a profit only due to the viral effect of the original video, is up there on my list of “things that Internet people do that weigh down the scale of Mother Nature, just rid the earth of humans now“. Okay, I’m done.

And while Internet theivery runs rampant, some good can come from it. Apparently, this cross-stitcher has compensated Jude for the money he/she made from the “scam”, and he was motivated to meet the demand for an 8-Bit keyboard cat t-shirt.
