国外独立插画家Tuesday Bassen近日在推特上表示，西班牙快时尚品牌ZARA公然剽窃他的作品，使用其创作的插画艺术作为服装设计的一部份。在他PO出的对照图可以很明显地发现，插画的雷同度相当高，不过ZARA并没有付出版权费用，而是直接使用，且经过法律交涉后仍然斗不过ZARA这种跨国成衣集团。

Tuesday Bassen忍无可忍后，近日在推特、instagram上公开发声，他指出过去一年ZARA剽窃许多他的作品，但他对此事一直「十分安静」，不过ZARA对此的回应让他决定发声。他表示经过沟通后，ZARA对此的回应为「Tuesday Bassen是一个独立艺术家，而ZARA是一家大公司，看到这些「缺乏识别性」的设计，并不会有人直接联想到『Tuesday Bassen』」！

Tuesday Bassen将ZARA的回复截图Po上推特后，引起网友强烈反弹。网友纷纷表示，ZARA的回应不合逻辑，「著作权法」并非这样操作，也有人表示ZARA只想吓唬人；不过也有网友指出一个极大盲点，提及「ZARA能够老神在在，是因为他们知道人类很健忘，纵使现在高喊抵制，几个月后风波过去，民众又会回到店内消费。」
其实，Tuesday Bassen只是众多受害者之一而已，网路上更有Shop Art Theft的网站，全都是独立艺术家被ZARA瓢窃作品的大汇集，细细一数就有超过50款作品以上。而这个在独立艺术家身上发生的问题，其实精品大厂也以困扰许久，因为精品半年一季才有作品推出，但像是ZARA这种复制速度超快的成衣集团，能在秀后马上推出类似的设计，深黯「参考」之道。

‘We reject your claims for reasons similar to those already stated above: the lack of distinctiveness in your client’s purported designs makes it very hard to see how a significant part of the population anywhere in the world would associate the signs with Tuesday Bassen.
‘This is our firm view, and being fully aware of 3rd party notifications that you have brought to our attention.
‘In this last regard, please note that such notifications amount to a handful of complaints only; when it is borne in mind that millions of users worldwide visit the respective websites monthly (Zara: 98,000.000 average monthly visits last year, Bershka: 150.000.000 average monthly visits last year), the figures clearly put those few notifications into perspective.’
‘Inditex was recently contacted by Tuesday Bassen’s lawyers who noted the use of the illustrations in some badges sourced externally and on clothes in its Group stores. Inditex respects any third party’s creativity and takes all claims concerning third party intellectual property rights very seriously.
‘On receiving these allegations, the relevant items were immediately suspended from sale and an investigation opened. In parallel, Inditex ’s legal team also contacted Tuesday Bassen’s lawyers to clarify and resolve the situation.
‘Inditex has more than 600 designers in house that create more than 50,000 designs a year, it has the highest respect towards each individual’s creativity and will investigate this specific case to its end.’
