In a February 5th entry on the NY Times section Art Beat, a lawsuit between the Associated Press and visual artist Shepard Fairey over the rights of a photograph is reported. The AP is says it owns the rights to a photograph that served as the basis for Fairey's mixed-media collage and therefore, must be compensated for the use of it. However, Fairey claims he is protected by fair-use standards and that his is an abstracted version and very different from the original.
