How do we see Fair use play out in the media: Shepard Fairey V. The Associated Press

This week Caira explores The iconic HOPE poster that was seen all over during Obama's presidential campaign. Mr. Fairey, who sued The Associated Press in 2009 after it accused him of copyright infringement for using one of its pictures as the foundation for the poster, claimed that he did not steal any copyrightable content and that his use of the photograph was not unauthorized. This week, we'll look at how fair use and copyright are involved in this case, as well as what it means for future fair use cases.
