So then Fairey shouldn’t complain about the other artist. After all using something like this for parody or
similar purposes is allegedly covered under “FAIR(ey) USE”...
It is kind of interesting...San Francisco media satirists Negativland dabble in taking bits of music, speech, etc.
and making art out of them. It could be Casey Kasem’s
“f-— Snuggles” outtake, bits of a song from “The Little
Mermaid” or Ethel Merman singing “There’s No Business Like
Show Business” (”when you are stealing...stealing...Let’s
go...on, with, the...stealing...” etc.)
Should be noted acts like Negativland take small samples of a work, rather than the whole work, to make a montage with them.
Here’s their “no Business” song (”let’s go, on with the...
stealing”)
