There is such an idea as appropriation. If an artist changes the original content enough to make it his own, then he is protected. This, at any rate, is my understanding. This protects artists from making statements through the use of other materials as in a mixed medium piece. Or, think of Andy Warhol’s Campbell Soup image, for example. I can push that image in my own artwork as long as I make it my own.

Thoughts?

Now the AP says they own the copyright… and they don’t seem as friendly as Garcia.

Looks like it goes beyond Mannie Garcia. Shepard needs to be stopped.

Even though Garcia was on assignment for AP, I think he may have negotiated keeping the copyright of his photos. Everything I have read indicates Fairey talked with Garcia about it after the fact and not with AP.
