(1) the alleged original photog doesn't seem to mind and even claims he never signed an AP contract (<a href="http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/02/05/once-again-the-ap-tries-to-redefine-fair-use-goes-after-shepard-fairey-for-obama-poster/" rel="nofollow">here</a>) (2) we know for a fact that there are 1000s of photos of obama more or less in this pose (<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/25105505@N07/3212113517/" rel="nofollow">fun link here</a>) (3) even the Wash Post article dissecting the poster in May 2008 describes changes from the original photo, as if they were looking at them side by side (<a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/artsandliving/style/features/2008/obama-poster-051808/graphic.html?sid=ST2008051602005" rel="nofollow">here</a>), so it's not like this photo basis was news to anybody whatsoever. What would be interesting to see (and I hope this doesn't come across as petty) is Shepard's overall net worth pre-poster vs two days ago (this is what they may consider using as argument). What would also be interesting to see is the paper trail of which posters the Obama camp distributed (if any) before saying "hey dude go make us one based on a photo we have the rights to" ... because though not directly affiliated w/the campaign per se, I definitely have a "yes we did" decal here in my home, sent to me by spam magnates/pro beggers MoveOn, that was created specially by Shep featuring our main man in the above controversial pose. n/b: Markland shame on you for not knowing Glen E Friedman. holy good lord, that guy's king go check his work glad to see both sides voicing off hellbent here. personally I have to side with the artist and think that this is 100% about attorney fees. forgive the numeric list, but I very rarely comment over here so I’m going to go for it.
