I simply CAN'T at people comparing artistic plagiarism and piracy.

Yes, both are 'dishonest' acts, but the difference is in one case people still call Ayu's work Ayu's, and in the other, people apart from the international fans in this forum will never know who was responsible for the logo design, and assume that Ayu (and her team) should take all the credit for it. It's a pretty dicky move. Not to mention that the loss of artistic credit to an unknown graphic designer is probably a lot more hurtful than the loss of profits to a multi-million dollar record company/recording artist.
