"Is Snapchat stealing filters from makeup artists?"

TR:
these filters come and go, without much attention from the general public paid to whether or not it’s violating someone’s work. But now, multiple people have likely had their art used without consent by Snapchat.

In most cases, they’ve yet to even receive a response
And the response:
At 11:58 a.m. PT today, a Snapchat spokesperson responded to this story with the following statement:

“The creative process sometimes involves inspiration, but it should never result in copying. We have already implemented additional layers of review for all designs. Copying other artists isn’t something we will tolerate, and we’re taking appropriate action internally with those involved.”
