Artist Open-Sources Work for Bitcoin; IP Advocates Stumped

In a move that has left intellectual ‘property’ (IP) advocates completely dumbfounded, artist and reddit or obilex recently released not one, but eight high-resolution original works of art on Reddit. The images are free to download and no copyright is claimed. What’s got the IP supporters really confused is that obilex is still making money.
Yesterday the artist announced the image giveaway with this post:
‘I’m a digital painter/artist that just got into Bitcoin, I realized I have no easy way to sell prints to you guys, so I’m pulling a Radiohead. Here are some High res images, look at em, print em, tip me, or don’t!’
