Fined and Sentences



Summary:
So this article talks about the outcome of the case.  Fairey was sentenced to probation and got a big fine in addition to that.  This is the first article that talked about the fact that he tried to conceal evidence so that he would have a stronger case.  Fairey admitted that he was guilty along with saying he was ashamed of what he did.
Review:
Well trying to cover up the fact and hide stuff was a big mistake for Fairey.  I think that if he was completely honest then he could have been fine in the courts.  AP is a big company with a lot of money so they can afford the best lawyers and Fairey cannot.  However, if he was just honest I don’t think there would have been any dispute about the fact that the photo was fair use.
