Humans of New York Releases Statement Amid Legal Battle Between Humans of Bombay and People of India, Says Art Becomes Product When Begins With 'Profit Motive'

In a recent legal battle between Humans of Bombay (HoB) and People of India (PoI) over copyright infringement, Humans of New York (HONY) founder Brandon Stanton weighed in on the matter, expressing his concerns on X (formerly Twitter). Stanton stated, "I've stayed quiet on the appropriation of my work because I think@HumansOfBombay shares important stories, even if they've monetized far past anything I'd feel comfortable doing on HONY. But you can't be suing people for what I've forgiven you for." In response, HoB defended its actions, highlighting the need to protect its intellectual property. HOB shared Court documents on X showing that PoI had indeed plagiarised content previously published by HoB. Following this, the HONY Founder took to X about his conversation with The Washington Post and shared his stance on the case, stating, "But when art begins with a profit motive, it ceases to become an art."   Humans of Bombay Gets Brutally Trolled for Its Reply to Brandon Stanton, Humans of New York Founder Amid Row With People of India in Copyright Infringement Case!
