But it wouldn't be plagiarism had they just given him credit? Because I can't see people calling it that if they had. So since avex didn't give credit, they stole (which always assumes a lack of permission which seems to be the case here) some parts of Prince Sam's logo. Okay, I can dig it. That still doesn't change anything else that I said including things that weren't quoted. Prince Sam can be considered using theft to make his logo for at least one thing and possibly other things, but I don't know much about his graphic design. But I guess it only matters when you're a rich company, even when someone's using part of the product you made in something you stole from them.
People use things from others all of the time. It may not be right. But like in this case, it goes both ways, so what can you really do unless you have the ability to claim copyrights, intellectual property or whatever?
