A Singaporean photographer’s claim of plagiarism over what she called a near-identical copy of her work was dismissed by a Luxembourg court in an “absurd” ruling over its “insufficient originality” this week, her lawyer told local outlets.

In a Twitter statement, Zhang Jingna, the U.S.-based plaintiff, said she was “devastated” by the decision, writing that it set “a dangerous precedent” for European copyright law. The ruling comes six months after she first accused Jeff Dieschburg, an art student in Luxembourg, of copying a photograph she’d taken for a 2017cover.

Dieschburg’s portrait, which Zhang claimed was an uncredited version of her work, was put up for sale after winning a prize at a state-supported biennale earlier this year. “Am I crazy or is this insane,” Zhang wrote in an Instagram caption alongside a side-by-side image of the two works in June, clarifying that she was “happy” to allow students to reference her work, “as long as it’s not for official portfolios, commercial gain, and always credited.

Insufficient originality? Then what about the fucker who copied her work? Unoriginal and mediocre men always have it good in contemporary art.

Looks like plagiarism to me

The one on the right look way better and I don't give a sht who took the picture. The one on the right is better, deal with it .

They look like completely different women, so how could it be a copy? Is the photographer going to say that ALL women looking over their shoulders are stealing from this photographer? There are 6 billion people on the planet!!!!

It's not close enough to have any artistic merit. This is just too generic. There must be thousands and thousand of similar pictures.

I am so sorry for her. 💔 It's hard to be an artist and protect the own art these times. 😔

Lol it’s a mirror image but an almost exact copy. I’d be pissed too.
