Evan Roth painted Shepard Fairey’s Obama poster and the the photo it was based on:
Who is the bigger intellectual property asshole? Is it the artist who has amassed a small fortune based on “appropriation” yet still sends cease and desist letters to other artists for appropriating his work?
Or is it the largest (and only) US based nationally-oriented news service which fails to recognize “fair use” even when it literally stares them in the face?
The first person to send me a cease and desist notice wins!
