Explain to me what is ignorant about not knowing if a piece of art is traced or not? With the evidence in front of us, we came to the conclusion that the artist did not intend to copy art, and therefore that they did not deserve punishment for it. However, with all of the evidence you gave, we had to take them out of the running because even if they didn’t intend to trace or copy, the similarities were too great to allow them to win the contest. We always view every single flag on a case-by-case basis and we try our best to be fair to our members, especially when they say that they didn’t mean to copy.
