The members of Megadeth are investigating a winner of the band's Christmas card contest after an anonymous fan made an accusation that the winner submitted plagiarized the work of another artist.
It appears the winner may have plagiarized the original artwork and done did a little photoshop to change it up a little. Now Megadeth is trying to do some damage control by getting to the bottom of the icy mess.
A posting on Megadeth.com reads, "Although we were notified of the possible plagiarism by an anonymous fan in Brazil after the Christmas Day call was already placed, we are investigating this matter further.
"We stand by the fact that the chosen winner is innocent until proven guilty, and if our winner did indeed use someone else's artwork, we will be notifying the second-place winner to award him the first place prize and he will receive a phone call from Dave Mustaine."
"We hope to clear this up as quick as possible."
Below is a picture of the original possibly plagiarized artwork.
