–noun
1. the unauthorized use or close imitation of the language and thoughts of another author and the representation of them as one's own original work.
2. something used and represented in this manner.

Another pointless insult by someone who has nothing useful to say.
What do you have to say about that? Lets look at the history ... professor of ..
The source of the work is quite clearly attributed to John Lennon.
Here is another question of no importance, genius.
Will truth, honor, and justice be upheld, or trodden all over by the foolish mob in the games of The Colosseum? What veil will it attempt to hide behind now? Poetry, is often tragic, if you lack the vision to see triumph.
Clearly Alex, it was authorized.
the unauthorized use or close imitation.
Because, you have
Liar.
(edit)
I wonder if we could add to the list, contacting the Sony, and see what they have to say about it. Possibly even CNN, I am such they would get a kick out of it. Being that it is an extremely, polarizing, racist view. You are demented. I think this particular instance is of notoriety, because it is what this forum is worthy of.
You're right Rob,
Im just oging to send an email to Sony Music right now, and let them know.
You are a dishonest, lying son of a bitch, aren't you?
You insert a period and delete part of the definition you yourself supplied.

You really need to understand the difference between believing in God and religion.
It's a lot like thinking you're a scientist when you cling so tight to a theory or ideology, that you start using it like a weapon, to burn witches. Hypocrisy, slander, maliciousness, violent implications. No, that' doesn't sound like some sort of supremacist agenda, vendetta, nor self-righteous cause. Lets get rid of every shade of color, and scientifically to do that you have to paint everything black. Hitler thought he was creating the supreme race, the supreme idea, the one true scientifically factually "true" forum, all based on unproven theories. I wonder if in the end he realized, hes was rotting on the inside, turning black. He didn't even have the courage to live, so I suppose not.
This is how you disrespect the dead, and fail the living.

Wow... you are getting seriously weird here Meem.
All you have now is insults and tantrums, at everyone and everything.
You keep on going about honor and truth... while showing everyone that you don't understand the concept of either.

If you venture further into the Institution (WHY?) you will also meet Napoleon, Alexander the Great, Jones the Butcher (care!) and Alice Springs.
Has anyone considered how cute puppies are? Puppies are so cute! 
There is nothin' cuter than a hamster,

There is nothin' you can name
That is anythin' like as cute as a hamster.

I think the last thing we need in the world right now is hate, and when you read the following perhaps you would agree. I tried looking up a legal contact for the specific, but that seemed impossible to do, so I have sent it your way, whom ever you might be. It's near the midway point. I am most assured, that if you have a respect for art and humanity, you will be as appalled as I was when I viewed it.

I suppose I was foolish to think of how many people that work at the gallery will end up reading it. I suppose you're right, an art community devoted to John Lennon's art won't flip when they see that? And I am sure they wouldn't even bother to look into it. I bet they don't know anyone either, since it's in his name, I am sure they were able to use it, without going through the proper channels.
This could be a sarcastic reply, it could exemplify my bravado, in response accordingly to all the indicators of my lack of intelligence. I suppose, I could be wrong though.

Meem,
You're not doing yourself any favors. I think you should just stop. The more you claim injury, the more you will be made fun of. Either go back to normal posting, or leave the forum. Your choice.

I believe in God, but not as one thing, not as an old man in the sky. I believe that what people call God is something in all of us. I believe that what Jesus and Mohammed and Buddha and all the rest said was right. It's just that the translations have gone wrong.
