Criminalizing piracy is no trivial thing either. Once you can get over the fact that piracy is a complicated issue, that it is unlike stealing things -- where the owner of some object is deprived of his original possession, we can get to talking about piracy in a serious and mature way.
You miss the point. Spike Lee's argument is that he never employed the artist, even though his film company ultimately decided on the agent who promoted the film.
If he complains about piracy, all we have to do now is state on twitter:
"I Never Heard Of This Spike Lee,If He Has A Beef It's Not With Me.I Did Not Buy Him,Do Not Know Him.Cheap Trick Writing To Me.YO"
Looks like, to me, that unless Lee backs down, he'll be being mocked for quite some time to come :-)
Someone can be both an idiot and a good cook/director/whatever...
Not to mention he doesn't think he's an idiot: just a jackass.
Rationalizing piracy is no trivial thing, although it seems to be popular in places like Hacker News.

Didn't Lee pirate those graphics in the first place?
which is why people are choked, becuase Lee is part of Big Media and rationalizing piracy at the same time. The hypocrisy is... hard to ignore
Who said anything about piracy? If anything, it's Spike Lee who "pirated" the designers copyright.
no it's pretty trivial
