Awwwww . . . what’s the matter, AP? Got a problem with someone helping themselves to the produce of your labor? It’s just a little wealth redistribution to what would be a poor, starving artist.

Actually I would have thought Fairey had an open and shut case under “fair use”. The image was “political speech”, and did Fairey even profit from it?

I admit I haven’t followed the story too closely...

There are no heroes here. Shepherd Fairey is a known Intellectual Property Thief in the art world.
