Over a million dollars? You don't think that's a bit much?

It's against the law. And is "something". Something called theft. The difference between that guy and the CD posters is that the CD poster didn't make money off the image. Despite the artist saying his pay was paltry, it still was money paid for an image he STOLE.
It's only a crime because he made money?

the next highest award to AP in a similar case has been $30k. and for the record shep's contribution was considerably more than simply running the original AP photo thru a photoshop filter.


it was an interesting case over the definition of "fair use" ( nothing new in the art world ). unfortunately since the image contained obama i doubt that the CD posters could put their political biases aside to discuss the case.
