OOTS art use in another Kickstarter

**Korack018** · 2015-04-06, 10:47 AM (ISO 8601)

I was looking around children's books on Kickstarter and came across this: {link removed to avoid giving publicity} and saw that the 'thanks for pledging' image from the OOTS Kickstarter was used. I just want to let Mr Burlew know and after posting in his comments on his Kickstarter, I figured that I might also reach him on these forums. Not sure if this is the place to post it, but I hope that either he sees it or someone with more direct access to him does and passes it on.

Been working on it since age 15, now nearly 19. Uses lowercase i for personal pronoun. Talks about creating art, but steals someone else's for promoting it. 0 backers so far.

Well, this book looks promising. I'm in.

I was wondering how she found it, as she wasn't a backer and it ended a while ago. The only one who can report it to Kickstarter is The Giant, which is funny in a way, seeing how they could just go to his Kickstarter to verify it if someone else could report it.

Probably because OOTS kickstarter made the news, and the Guinness Book of World Records, and the image was used on a few legitimate news sources who presumably did it legally.
