Celebrity tattoo artist Kat Von D appeared in a Los Angeles federal courtroom Tuesday to fight claims she violated the copyright of an “iconic” portrait of jazz legend Miles Davis when she tattooed a version of the image on a friend without proper credit or compensation.
The former star of reality shows Miami Ink and LA Ink sat before a jury as her lawyer said in his opening statement that Von D only used the famous photo for “inspiration” as she created a “completely different” work on her friend’s...

Purpose and character. These are now solidly enshrined as the buzzwords of copyright law on the heels of the Supreme Court’s 7-2 ruling earlier this week in the case involving the estate of Andy Warhol and photographer Lynn Goldsmith.
The decision at first blush seemed to be a clear-cut win for copyright owners and artists who create original works. But the court’s majority decision, penned with verve by Justice Sonia Sotomayor, is already proving divisive among experts on intellectual property rights. It demonstrates the difficulty of setting up hard and fast rules around highly subjective questions, such as when an artistic or literary work is “transformative” of an earlier work and whether its ultimate use is for commercial purposes, or not. The case has been closely watched in part because it’s sure to have implications for the tidal wave of AI-generated art and literary works that are to emerge,...

In a case with potential implications on a wide range of creative industries, the Supreme Court ruled on Thursday, May 18, that Andy Warhol infringed on a photographer’s copyrights for his portraits of Prince.
The court ruled 7-2 in favor of Lynn Goldsmith, whose photos of The Purple One were the original works, which Warhol then used for his own artwork. The court went against the Warhol Foundation’s argument that Warhol’s work was “transformative” enough that they were substantially different and constituted fair use.
The case dates back to the 1980s,...

Andy Warhol wasn’t allowed to use a photographer’s portrait of Prince for a series of pop-art images, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled Thursday in a decision limiting the reach of the fair use defense to copyright infringement claims.
Associate Justice Sonia Sotomayor, writing for the majority in the 7-2 decision, found that the Lynn Goldsmith’s “original works, like those of other photographers, are entitled to copyright protection, even against famous artists” like Warhol. Potentially overlapping commercial exploitation of the works was a key consideration.
“The purpose of the image is substantially the same as that of Goldsmith’s photograph,“ she wrote. “Both are portraits of Prince used in magazines to illustrate stories about Prince.”
Associate Justice Elena Kagan, joined by Chief Justice John Roberts, sided with Warhol in a dissent saying that the majority is “uninterested in the distinctiveness and newness of Warhol’s portrait.” She...

The Supreme Court sided with a photographer in a dispute with the Andy Warhol Foundation over the late artist’s use of her photos as the basis for his own series of portraits of Prince.
The court’s ruling was closely watched by content creators, some of whom feared that it would widen the scope of copyrighted material that could be used for further derivative works. In fact, during oral arguments last fall, attorneys raised the issue of what the case would mean for sequels to Star Wars and spinoffs from shows like All in the Family.
In a 1984 issue, Vanity Fair used a Warhol work that was based on a Lynn Goldsmith photo, having obtained a license from the photographer. The problems came about after Prince died in 2016 and Conde Nast, in its tribute to the singer, used a different Warhol work that was part of a series of...

In the 1960s, a song Ringo Starr often sang with The Beatles morphed into an early hit for The Rolling Stones. Starr, who sang lead the least out of his bandmates, sang a cover song. Paul McCartney said the band found the song embarrassing, resulting in them writing a new song for Starr. They ended up giving it to The Rolling Stones.

The Beatles befriended The Rolling Stones in the 1960s. When the Stones asked McCartney and John Lennon for a song, they had a clear idea of the one they should give them.
“I remember seeing Mick and Keith in a taxi and shouting, ‘Hey, Mick — give us a lift!'” McCartney said, per The Beatles Anthology.

Performing live is exhilarating, but for these musicians who wiped out onstage, it can also be dangerous. Sometimes, an onstage fall barely even slows down a concert. For other musicians, it can land them in the hospital. Here are nine artists who have taken a tumble during a performance.

In 1975, Alice Cooper was performing in Vancouver when a prop sent him careening off the stage.
“I was using a toy box as a prop and it fell over and knocked me off the stage,” he said, per Ultimate Classic Rock. “I cracked my ribs and hit my head on the cement floor. I put my hand on my head and it felt like a baseball. But we came back on in that old ‘show-must-go-on’ bit.”
He returned to the stage for a few more songs despite having a concussion and broken ribs.

Tina Turner and Mick Jagger have been friends for decades, but the singer has finally revealed that she “always” had a crush on The Rolling Stones frontman. Here’s what Turner said.
Tina Turner and Mick Jagger | Lynn Goldsmith/ Getty Images Tina Turner and her then-husband Ike Turner opened for Mick Jagger and The Rolling Stones starting in the mid-1960s
When Ike and Tina Turner released “River Deep, Mountain High,” their fame skyrocketed. Shortly after, they had the opportunity to open for The Rolling Stones on their 1966 tour of the U.K.
Turner told Rolling Stone that Jagger had been around while they recorded the hit in the recording studio with Phil Spector. Turner remembered Jagger, but they’d never talked. “He’s not the type to make you feel you could just come up and talk to him,” Turner explained. Even though the pair didn’t speak, Jagger thought “River Deep,...

The Rolling Stones seemed to be a magnet for controversy during their heyday. John Lennon expected them to face backlash in the 1980s, but they angered some anxious journalists years before that decade. Charlie Watts stole the promotional trick The Rolling Stones used before their 1975 tour and left a trail of upset rock journos in their wake, according to Ronnie Wood.

Did Andy Warhol violate copyright law when he based a portrait of Prince on a prominent photographer’s work? That question was before the U.S. Supreme Court on Wednesday, as it grappled with the potentially massive consequences of a case that could change the landscape for art that’s created using other art.
Several justices observed the possible implications. “Why can’t we imagine that Hollywood can take a book and make a movie about it without paying?” Justice Clarence Thomas asked a lawyer for the Andy Warhol Foundation.
Justice Elena Kagan raised the opposite concern, mainly how a ruling against Warhol could chill artistic expression. “The purpose of all copyright law is to foster creativity,” she said. “Why shouldn’t we ask if the thing we have here is new and entirely different.”

The Supreme Court heard a consequential copyright case on Wednesday, having to do with whether Andy Warhol’s estate owes a photographer a licensing fee for basing his portraits on Prince on one of her works.
A moment that stood out, however, was when Justice Clarence Thomas, posing a hypothetical to one of the lawyers, made a reference to being a Prince fan, “which I was in the 80s.”
“No longer?” interrupted Justice Elena Kagan.
The chambers erupted in laughter.
“Well,” Thomas said, as he himself chuckled, before pausing and adding, “Only on Thursday night.”
“Mmm hmmm,” Kagan replied.
The oral arguments actually were chalk full of pop culture references — one attorney at one point compared Mork & Mindy to Happy Days — given that it is a case that has potential implications over the future of the “fair use” doctrine in copyright law.

An appeals court has reversed a case involving the Andy Warhol Foundation and a series of images of rock star Prince.
The issue dates to 2017, when the Warhol Foundation sued rock photographer Lynn Goldsmith. She had notified the Foundation about a copyright issue because Warhol used a photo of Prince she took in the ’80s to create a series of silkscreens.
The Foundation claimed the Warhol Prince images were fair use. Goldsmith countersued but saw her case dismissed in federal court.
On Friday, the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals decided to reverse the lower court. “We conclude that the district court erred in its assessment and application of the fair-use factors and that the works in question do not qualify as fair use as a matter of law.” The ruling added, “We likewise conclude that [Warhol’s Prince works] are substantially similar to the Goldsmith Photograph as a matter of law.”

The 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals has delivered a huge victory for a photographer claiming that Andy Warhol infringed her 1981 photo of Prince.
Back in the mid-1980s, Lynn Goldsmith licensed her image to Vanity Fair, which commissioned Warhol to make a silkscreen. Warhol created 15 additional works for a series on Prince, and Goldsmith says she didn’t know about this until Prince died in 2016. Afterwards, her complaints had the Andy Warhol Foundation running to court seeking a declaration of fair use.

The sequin dress series at the top of this post was taken by Norman Seeff in Los Angeles in 1983. “Working with Tina is like being exposed to a nuclear reactor,” Seeff said in a statement. “She exudes a primordial energy that comes from the muse of her creativity.
