Good for the gander

Filed under: Art, Intellectual Property — bblackmoor @ 19:01

Hope springs eternal

Last April, Shepard Fairey mobilized his legal team to send Baxter Orr a cease and desist order threatening legal action against him. The Austin, Texas, artist made a parody of Fairey’s Andre the Giant design, adorning it with a SARS mask and the title “Protect Yourself.”

Now the Associated Press is suing Fairey for copyright infringement for using a wire service photo as a model for his artwork

What comes around goes around. Personally, I think both suits are absurd, and simply illuminate the absurdity of our copyright laws and the legal system that keeps them in place.

SupergirlJust for fun, here is a link to one reader’s opinion of the Top Ten Skimpiest Superheroine Costumes.

I used to have such a crush on Supergirl… and Vampirella… and Witchblade…

I have to admit that I am surprised that Starfire did not make the list.
