Just wonder why he licensed the music compositions and nothing for the art? Because this is a graphic rendering, not necessarily "sampling" in the traditional sense, how do you go about licensing the underlying composition for a photograph? Should you have to? Someone said it would have been ideal to take a picture just like the original, and then base the digital render upon that instead of Maisel's pic. But yeah, the chillin' effect on expression here is waaaay cold. Well, at least Baio made this public....

I thought the pushback against Baio's interpretation was interesting.
I was keyed into it on Twitter, where someone said they didn't see a
right/wrong in the situation. There was also a large thread on Reddit
where a lot of comments sided with Maisel.

Oh no! I bought Kind of Bloop when it came out and then bought it
again as a gift for my brother. So disappointed to hear he was
nailed.
