Photographer moves to intervene in Fairey v. Associated Press fair use
litigation
,----[ Quote ]
| In Fairey v. Associated Press, the fair use litigation in which Associated
| Press accuses artist Shepard Fairey of copyright infringement in connection
| with a painting he did based upon a portion of a photograph which appeared in
| the AP, the actual photographer -- Manuel Garcia -- has now moved to
| intervene in the action, claiming that he -- and not the Associated Press --
| is the owner of the copyright in the photograph.

MPAA Matches RIAA In Massive Layoffs
,----[ Quote ]
| I missed this one when it initially happened, but it looks like the MPAA is
| following in the footsteps of the RIAA -- who recently laid off a bunch of
| folks. Apparently the MPAA quickly followed suit and drastically scaled back
| after the studios cut the MPAA's funding by about 15 to 20%.
