pacific media centre | articles: USP academic raises alarm about ‘theft’ of Pacific creations (2011-01-08): "A USP academic has expressed concern about what he says is the continuing “misappropriation” of Pacific Islands’ creative properties.

Senior lecturer in education Teweiariki Teaero says others are stealing and copyrighting Pacific Island intellectual property.

This artist modified the images and called it her own, claimed Teaero."
