Copyright has never been an easy, black-and-white kind of issue. Arguments over copyright between creatives happen all of the time, it's an inescapable issue.

Read through some of these famous court cases that have created major public discourse over copyright - how it's handled, what it means, and why we should all care.

1. Rogers vs. Koons
_

Photograph: Art Rogers - 1985; Polychrome: Jeff Koons - 1988 (both via The Design Observer Group)

Case

Photographer Art Rogers shot a photograph of a couple holding a line of puppies in a row and sold it for use in greeting cards and similar products. Internationally, renowned artist Jeff Koons in the process of creating an exhibit on the banality of everyday items, ran across Rogers' photograph and used it to create a set of statues based on the image.

Koons sold several of these structures, making a significant profit. Upon discovering the copy, Rogers sued Koons for copyright. Koons responded by claiming fair use by parody.

Outcome

The court found the similarities between the 2 images too close, and that a "typical person" would be able to recognize the copy. Koon's defense was rejected under the argument that he could have used a more generic source to make the same statement - without copying Rogers' work. Koons was forced to pay a monetary settlement to Rogers.

Significance

This is one of those famous cases that encompassed a larger issue in the art world, the issue of appropriation art. Can you build upon another's work to create your own original piece? And if you do so, does that constitute derivative work?

It also brought up the issue of photography as art, was photography just a documentation of the world, or is it a creative and artistic product? Neither of these issues was entirely answered by the case, of course, but it has also become a reference used in many cases afterward.

You can parallel this with vector-tracing a photograph for your design. Are you creating a derivative work that subtracts value from the original artist?

2. The Associated Press vs. Fairey
_

Photograph: Mannie Garcia - 2006 (via The New York Times); Poster: Shephard Fairey - 2008 (via Wikipedia)

Case

Famous street artist Shephard Fairey created the Hope poster during President Obama's first run for presidential election in 2008. The design rapidly became a symbol for Obama's campaign, technically independent of the campaign but with its approval.

In January 2009, the photograph on which Fairey allegedly based the design was revealed by the Associated Press as one shot by AP freelancer Mannie Garcia - with the AP demanding compensation for its use in Fairey's work. Fairey responded with the defense of fair use, claiming his work didn't reduce the value of the original photograph.

Outcome

The artist and the AP press came to a private settlement in January 2011, part of which included a split in the profits for the work.

Significance

Though there wasn't a court case and an actual verdict, this case created a lot of discourse around the value of work in these copyright battles. It's unlikely that Garcia's work could have ever reached the level of fame it did, if not for Fairey's poster. Garcia himself stated he was "so proud of the photograph and that Fairey did what he did artistically with it, and the effect it has had," but still had a problem with the fact that Fairey took the image without permission and without credit for it's originator.

Credit, credit, credit! On 99designs you cannot use licensed work - but in the right circumstances you can use stock imagery. When doing so, make sure everyone knows the source.

3. Cariou vs. Prince
_

Photograph: Patrick Cariou - 2000; Adaptation: Richard Prince - 2008 (both via artnet)

Case

Richard Prince is a well known appropriation artist - one who transforms the work of others to create new meaning in his own work. For an exhibition in the Gagosian Gallery, Prince appropriated 41 images from a photography book by French photographer Patrick Cariou, claiming fair use that he created new meaning out of the photographs. Cariou argued that it wasn't fair use, but copyright infringement.

Outcome

A judge ruled in favor for Cariou in 2011, claiming the changes made to Cariou's photographs weren't significant enough to constitute a change in meaning - fair use. However, the case is currently in appeal and the final decision has not yet been reached.

Significance

The initial ruling in this case in favor of Cariou has created huge divisions in the artistic community. It brings up questions about artistic intent and the subjectivity of art, asking "who was this judge to determine whether or not the appropriated artwork had enough meaning to be considered fair use" when the art could be interpreted differently by each person who viewed it. The jury is still out on this one.

Imitation vs. inspiration

Don't be a designer who creates work too close to that of another. You have to make sure you are creating something original and not derivative.

-

Update 4/25/2013

Not two weeks after this article was published, the original decision in this case was overturned and the judge ruled in favor of Prince for the majority of the works in dispute, claiming that Prince's work transformed the work in the way that it was aesthetically different, and thus acceptable under the argument of fair use.

Read more about the decision as well as the 5 pieces which are still under review by a lower court in The New York Times and Hyperallergic.

4. Modern Dog Design vs. Target Corporation
_

Illustrations: Modern Dog - 2008; T-shirt: Target (both via Business Insider)

Case

Seattle design firm Modern Dog utilized a series of sketches of dogs in their compendium put out by Chronicle Books in 2008. The firm alleges that illustrations from that design have been used in a T-shirt produced by Disney/Target for sale, and filed a lawsuit in 2011.

Outcome

TBD. There hasn't been a decision yet in this case but Modern Dog has been campaigning online pretty heavily for publicity and funds to help with its legal fees over the issue.

Significance

The Modern Dog case has brought to light a question burning in the mind of many designers and artists - what happens if a major corporation with many more resources than me, utilizes my artwork for profit?

Modern Dog was recently forced to sell their studio to cover the legal costs associated with this battle, so it's turning into a very extreme situation for them. We'll have to keep an eye out for how this progressed and continues to change the conversation around this issue.

Always defend your designs. Regardless of who you're going up against - if you think your design is in the right, then make it known.

5. Vanilla Ice vs. David Bowie/Freddie Mercury
_

Case

Vanilla Ice had a hit, in 1991, with Ice Ice Baby - it sampled but did not credit the song Under Pressure by David Bowie and Queen. Though at first denying it, Vanilla Ice later retracted the statement saying it was "a joke". Facing a lawsuit by the duo, Vanilla Ice 'fessed to sampling the work.

Outcome

The case was settled privately out of court with Ice paying an undeclared sum of money and crediting Bowie/Queen on the track.

Significance

There's really not a ton of meaning directly related to design with this one (except for, don't use other people's creative work!). But I couldn't resist adding it. This is one of the most hilarious copyright cases ever.

There are more cases out there! Any you have learned from?

The Queen of the United Kingdom appeared on TV with a rare televised speech on April 5th. She delivered a message of hope amid the current crisis, thanking the front-line medical workers. And while the historic address was enough to make headlines, something else glued the internet memesters to the screens.

It was the Queen's dress. That bright shade of turquoise green... did someone say "green screen"? After Peter Chiykowski hailed it as "perfect Photoshop bait," he put everyone on track with some initial royal dress memes. As you can imagine, the rest is history.

The longest-ruling British monarch was dressed in anything from a coronavirus-patterned shirt and a Joe Exotic-inspired top to sinister heavy metal attire. Let's have a look at some of the funniest Queen dress remakes below. Long live the Meme!

The John Wick movie franchise starring Keanu Reeves is one that inspires more passion and discussion among its fans than almost any other action films. While it might be known colloquially as "the movies about an assassin avenging his dead dog," the series clicks on several deeper levels thanks to its lush visual aesthetic and endearingly gothic tone.

A movie like John Wick 3: Parabellum can pose an incredible challenge on the marketing front. Trailers and print ads must energize fans while doing justice to its complex vibe and nuanced anti-hero-ideally while also enticing new audiences to discover the franchise.

Generally not a problem, unless you're going to waste time.

Phones in class?

Phones must be stored away in your backpack or purse, and placed in the Backpack Area. The ONLY two acceptable uses, with the teacher's permission, for phones in class are:

1. Watching a tutorial while working on your computer

2. Using the camera for something in your project

Need help with anything at all?

Ask a classmate. Give each other a chance to show what they've learned. Remember that when you can teach someone else to do something, and they succeed, that shows your level of mastery in that thing.

Then as Mr. Block

Need any supplies like pens, scissors, or rulers?

Feel free to leave your seat without permission to grab supplies for your project.
