Ashley Cullins, The Hollywood Reporter; Andy Warhol Foundation Asks Supreme Court to Review Prince Pop Art Dispute
"The Warhol Foundation argues that allowing the split to stand would create a “sea-change” in copyright law and lead to “inconsistent results and forum shopping” if the 2nd and 9th Circuits are using different frameworks to analyze fair use.
It argues the decision also chills artistic expression because creating new works as cultural commentary — like Warhol and the larger pop art movement did — could now amount to copyright infringement if the image is deemed too “recognizeable” to be transformative."
