[Kip
 Currier: Given the facts as presented in this article (and knowing that
 the U.S. only recognizes "moral rights" vis-a-vis the very narrow Visual Artists Right Act [VARA]), is there anyone who still doesn't think that at the very least the "decent" thing to do would have been for Elon Musk/Tesla to provide attribution
 (let alone some kind of compensation) when repeatedly using Tom 
Edwards' image? Imagine if the situation were reversed and someone was 
using Elon Musk's "original expressions" without attribution.]
"Edwards said he wanted to speak out in part because he often hears 
similar stories from artists. “I realize my farting unicorn is not as 
serious as whistleblowers,” he said, “but honestly, it’s all about 
integrity.”
He
 added: “I’d really like to get on Elon Musk’s good side … He’s really 
really interesting. But he isn’t above copyright law.""
