[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I'm going to retype one of John Grisham's best sellers in a different typeface, moving the action to India, changing the character names, adding some atmospheric descriptive language, and altering a few plot details, maybe give it a new title and different ending, throw one of Jayanand's photos on the jacket (with his permission of course!) and publish it claiming "fair use" of a copyrighted creation by another artist. Any doubts how the court will rule? How is this any different in principle from Prince v. Cariou? Why would anyone think a graphic-arts creation should enjoy less legal protection than a novel? Picasso said (allegedly) that "Mediocre artists borrow, but great artists steal!" Prince didn't steal. He kidnapped Cariou's subjects and sold them into slavery. ?howard On Mar 23, 2014, at 4:45 PM, Richard Man <richard at richardmanphoto.com> wrote: > Too bad it was settled.
