AirAsia accused of using artist’s work without permission

What happened: A street artist from Penang claims AirAsia used his artwork on an aircraft livery without his consent. The artist says his work was reproduced without approval.

Why it matters:

  • Raises concerns about intellectual property rights and artist compensation.
  • Affects both the artist's reputation and AirAsia's public image.

MNN Take: The dispute highlights the importance of obtaining proper permissions when using creative works commercially. Companies should ensure clear agreements to avoid legal and ethical issues.
