Obama Photog Says "You're Both Wrong" To AP & Fairey
NewYorkCountryLawyer writes "In Fairey v. Associated Press, the Associated Press said artist Shepard Fairey's painting had infringed its copyrights in a photo of then-President Elect Barack Obama. Fairey said no, it was a 'fair use'. Now, the freelance photographer who actually took the AP photo — Manuel Garcia — has sought permission to intervene in the case, saying that both the AP and Fairey are wrong. Garcia's motion (PDF) protests that he, not AP, is the owner of the copyright in the photograph, and that he never relinquished it to AP. And he argues that Fairey is not entitled to a fair use defense. According to an article in TechDirt, this intervention motion by Mr. Garcia represents a changed attitude on his part, and that his initial reaction to Mr. Fairey's painting was admiration, and a desire for an autographed litho. Maybe Mr. Fairey should have given him that autographed litho."
Humor only evades the stupid...
...This is good publicity for that nice looking ass. Nerds are like "What ass?" You men you!
Sarkoszy, on the other hand, stares at her ass for a good 10 seconds.
Unless your gay, who wouldn't? If I was there, I would be staring for as long as I could. Guess that's why I could never run for office. Shit like that would get me into trouble fast. =)
Life is not for the lazy.
Who said anything about politics/politicians/corruption? Not me. You started out awfully defensive. I don't care why.
You said: "The video tells a completely different story from that still. Believe what you want to believe though." Clearly you're implying that I'm believing a fantasy and/or I'm out to attack the man's credibility. I explained my position. I'm sorry you found it "defensive" but that isn't really my problem. I was defending nothing. I was explaining to you that it was a joke, which you clearly didn't get in the first place. Others did and it got modded funny.

Sarko is the only man on stage in fact. I'd be all over that ass as well.
