Hey guys, I don't know if you heard about this, but Shepard Fairey is suing the APto counter their claims that his famous Obama image is a copyright infringement (they own the original photo, left). Most people I talk to have more sympathy for Shepard Fairey in this case, but if his campaign image had been based on a painting or a drawing, rather than a photo, I think public opinion about this issue might change.
