[FC-discuss] Artist of iconic Obama image sues AP to protect his fair use of original photograph

[Alex Leavitt]

Although Fairey would claim a non-commercial free use over his image, I
wonder if the judge would argue that the work was so transformative that it
impacted (beyond Fairey's control) the commercial market (aka. others making
money off the image, though that of course infringes on Fairey's copyright)
in a way that somehow affects the definition of free use.
