Our researchers have discovered that there are even greater "disses" that we can engage in than just "buffing" a mural that violates our copyright. Therefore, while we wait for the dust to settle in the courtrooms, we are going to continue to "take it to the streets," as the kids say. There are rules, but those rules favor the ruthless. That means we were pleasantly surprised to find out the culture surrounding graffiti is so comfortably familiar. We have devoted decades to facilitating all the pleasure of capitalism in a relaxing, gamified format, so we actually enjoy the process of lawyering, leveraging and intrigue that is corporate law. We still haven't received a response to our first letter, so we are performing our due diligence by reaching out one last time. It had us in tears of laughter, gasping for breath. This one cranks up the snark factor by about 1000%. On February 15th, INDECLINE published a follow-up letter from Hasbro to Mr. We have always been in this for the kids. Unless you're willing to try harder, we demand ALEC MONOPOLY leave us out of it. Isn't that what art is all about? Trying. We instructed the workers to leave all the other tags, because we figured they deserved the canvas to continue their practice and get better. Therefore, while we await a judgment from the courts, we went ahead and removed the first piece from the wall at 7547 Melrose Avenue in Los Angeles, CA. But when multiple walls are clogged in a campaign to enrich oneself by already having money purposefully imitating the aesthetic of being an industry plant, we feel the game is rigged, and thus, must take legal and ethical action.Īgain, it's not that we are against such self-enrichment in principle, but you're not trying to say anything beyond "give me your money and I'll spray paint some Louis Vuitton luggage for you."
#ALEC MONOPOLY FREE#
A wall is free for anyone to paint, provided they choose to take the risk. But stealing is only fair when everybody has an equal opportunity. We haven't forgot that, Monopoly, in essence, is about stealing.
Reducing our mascot to a plasticized brand, replicated ad-nauseum as a promotional gimmick, is not in keeping with our company culture. is not impressed with your take on Rich Uncle Pennybags. Our legal team has made us aware of your work, and, to put it mildly, Hasbro Inc. We are reaching out in regards to a violation of our intellectual property. The tone of the letter is serious and simultaneously dripping with sarcasm. Monopoly's use of their Rich Uncle Pennybags character (from the game Monopoly, of course) in his artwork. On January 24th, 2021, the activist art collective INDECLINE published a cease and desist letter on their Insta from Hasbro, Inc.
