A few weeks back I got an email from one of our contributors saying that Juxtapoz had been taking whole interviews and entire sections out of our interviews and reposting them without credit or prior permission. He got blown off by them with the following response

"I apologize if you feel something Juxtapoz posted was not properly credited from the link from which the interview excerpts and artist quotes came from. I'm sorry if you feel like your work or any of your writers work misused and I can assure you it was unintentional and won't happen again.

The internet is a big, vast, open space with infinite information, and accidents happen."

I decided to get in contact through a contact on linkedin who worked for Juxtapoz's publisher. I mailed him he offered to help and then I heard nothing. When I contacted him again he said he'd been in contact and would try again. 

Yesterday I got this response;

Hey Cian-

Thanks for reaching out and sorry for the delay. 

I apologize if you or one of your writers feel something Juxtapoz posted was not properly credited from the link from which the interview excerpts and artist quotes came from. I'm sorry if you feel like your work or any of your writers work misused and I can assure you it was unintentional and won't happen again.

The internet is a big, vast, open space with infinite information, and accidents happen. I spoke with one of your writers, Shane, a few weeks back and the following posts had been edited:

I'm not sure if those posts, or Shane as a writer is who you were referring to, but thanks for bringing it to our attention.

Best-
H

from Hannah Stouffer who is one of Juxtapoz's web editors. Unfortunately for Hannah she forgot to delete the CC's and fwd's from the email thread before contacting me. So how did Juxtapoz feel after we caught them out stealing our content?

Well Editor in Cheif Evan Pricco had this to say

"can you deal with this dude? he is annoying. "

We've got a record and screen captures of everything Juxtapoz have "accidentally" stolen from us via the "big, vast, open space with infinite information" that is the internet. I'd really appreciate if all our readers could help us spread the word on this. There's a post on our facebook page that we're urging people to share to gain attention as Juxtapoz would rather we just go away and stop annoying them.

You can contact Evan or Hannah via evan@juxtapoz.com or HS@HannahStouffer.com

My favourite convention of the year, Brighton has moved from it's usual late January slot to February 16th & 17th and also from the racecourse to the much more accesible Hilton Metropole right on the sea front! The convention has maintained it's usual high standards in artist allowed to work and you can find top UK (Frank Carter, Claudia Sabe, Rodrigo Souto) and International artists (Chriss Dettmer, Deno, Eckel) working the convention. We will also be there selling this year after taking a break last year! You can check out all the details and keep updated on the convention via brightontattoo.com

Our mate Bradley Tompkins (Swansea Tattoo Co.) has a t-shirt on sale. It's a front and back print for only £10 + shipping which is an absolute steal. You can pick one up via Brad's webstore .

We're celebrating Halloween in style this year! We're stoked to announce our collaboration with Daggers for Teeth aka Craig Robson. This shirt is beyond limited (the most limited thing we've ever done) and can be picked up via our store (http://www.respect-tradition.com/) and Craigs (http://daggersforteeth.bigcartel.com/) check both, one might have more then the other of certain sizes.
