Did Leo just steal the JP episode thumbnail....?

[Matt23]

So, the thumbnail for the Jordan Peterson video Leo has is directly from the cover for a YouTube documentary about JP called "The Rise of Jordan Peterson".

....

Legal?  Even so...

I'm sure JP doesn't mind.  In that video, Leo basically admitted he was wrong about 95% of the badmouthing he and his followers did toward JP.

   Not the first time. In Leo's 'what is actualized.org? a big picture understanding' the thumbnail was first used in one of Netflix's documentaries on the universe.

Nothing stolen. Leo's not some stage red thief. The thumbnails are stock images. The tricky part is using ones creativity to curate nice meaningful images. Which I think Leo does well.

@Matt23  The video in question has just been taken down. Maybe the thumbnail will be different. Also, I think it might be legal, but that does not stop the original company from issuing copy right strikes and take downs.

The video is still up.

The thumbnail did have modifications, but probably not enough to be on the safe side, so now I'm changing it entirely.

My bad. It is hard to find vectors of JP.

@Leo Gura Do you make most your thumbnails using photoshop, or do you get them online usually? Because they are always really pretty.

BTW, thanks for making me more aware of this issue.

   Pretty good chance it's hired pro in digital art.
