Shepard Fairey Sues AP Over Obama Poster
      

Shepard Fairey's Barack Obama campaign poster is still in the news.

Fairey has filed a lawsuit against The Associated Press, requesting the judge to state that he is "protected from copyright infringement claims."

The Barack Obama photograph used in the Fairey poster was taken by freelance photographer Mannie Garcia for The Associated Press in 2006. The AP recently demanded a portion of any money made from the image, and now the artist has decided to the let a federal judge figure out if the matter is a copyright infringement.
