Shepard Fairey Outwits AP

Link to article.

"This week, Fairey responded to a lawsuit filed by the AP in which the news organization claims that the artist broke copyright laws when he used its photograph of Barack Obama for his "Hope" poster.

Fairey's lawyers said in papers filed at a New York court Wednesday that the artist's use of the photograph is protected by the First Amendment as well as by fair-use laws.

But the real attention-grabber was Fairey's assertion that the AP itself violated copyright laws when it used a photo of the artist's "Hope" poster without getting permission. In other words, he's arguing that the AP can't reproduce an image by Fairey that the artist himself appropriated from the AP."
