Petition to Protect our Intellectual Property from Shameless Counterfeiters
A vendor at the Union Square Holiday Market is shamelessly counterfeiting other peoples' artwork.
Nico Gabot who used to be an associate of previous vendors, The Walking Art and Brooklyn Made Store, is now counterfeiting the work of these artist collectives.
The matter was brought to their attention through social media and witnesses of his booth in the Union Square Holiday Market.
We take this matter very seriously and feel that you should too.
It undermines years of hard work and original creative efforts by the actual artists. It destroys the integrity of all New York street artists to have individuals like Mr. Gabot selling counterfeit works at the Union Square Holiday Market.
To allow such a practice to continue is like giving a green light to theft. It is setting a dangerous precedent of plagiarism going unpunished.
Something has to be done.
