[QUOTE="Browncoat, post: 26569, member: 1061"] Interesting on a couple different notes: 1. If this artwork is on public property, such as a city sidewalk, I would think that a good lawyer would be able to argue the point that it is in the public domain. This is probably why the judge was unable to interpret "fair use" and the issue had to be left up to a jury. 2. On the other hand, I have to congratulate the artist for not only suing the photographer, but the stock agency as well. It's about time someone put the screws to them instead of the other way around.
