Nina Paley is brilliant again, and makes a great point, though I know lots of people would debate the concept of Creative Commons. Still, she's an artist who lives on her earnings, so I think she should be heard:

Oh! I'd never seen that up close, nor read the notes. That is so moving.

But I think in your case the wings are really yours, with maybe a feather or two borrowed elsewhere. At least you help us fly when we see what you make!

There's definitely a difference between influence and stealing, and much as I like Paley and this animation, I think she's blurring the point. I agree with you more than with her, really (see my response above to [livejournal.com profile] siro_gravity.

That's terribly kind of you to think so. Thank you. There is another 'sub text', if you like, to those wings, too.

I saw your response to Siro Gravity (and that's another good point she made too about the extent of derivation). Yes, knowing where to draw the line is a tricky one.

ETA: Oh, and I just saw your extended conversation too.
