Roger Waters Accused of Ripping Off Artwork, New Album Blocked in Italy

By Prog Sphere on June 20, 2017

The Tribunal of Milan has blocked the physical and digital sales of Roger Waters‘ latest solo album Is This the Life We Really Want? due to concerns of copyright infringement.

As CoS reports, the cover bears a resemblance to the conceptual work and “erasure technique” of Italian artist Emilio Isgro.

Emilio described the cover as “a blatant plagiarism of my works.”

The source further reports that Waters‘ label Columbia/Sony will have the opportunity to appeal the governmental block during a hearing set for June 27.
