The AP v. Shepherd Fairey



Summary:
This article, again, goes into detail about the case, however, this author thinks that Shepherd Fairey is actually infringing and not covered under fair use.  This article talks about revenue even though in the previous article there was no revenue to be had.  This author believes that AP or Garcia, the original photographer, has a claim and should collect the money from Fairey, if there is actually any to get.

Review:
I think that this is a little weird this author believes they have a case even if there is money to be gathered.  Fairey based his Obama poster on Garcia’s image and if you look at things from an archetypal standpoint everything is based on something else.  I don’t think that saying that Fairey based his poster on Garcia’s photograph     has a court case at all because based is such a loose term.
