When I saw how long the licence on flickr was, I decided there was too much to read. I also decided at this stage I have no reason to upload an image.

Case Study 3 - Oh so criminal

I think Keir Smith is right in what he did to get a message across about 'Fair use', even if what he did was illegal at the time.

Case Study 2 -Lebbeus Woods v. Universal Studios '12 Monkeys'

The wall behind the chair with the grid pattern and it's texture were the same as the drawing. Also the chair looked identical and the manner in which it was supported on the wall was the same. Lebbeus Woods has obviously had his work copied.

Case Study 1 - Bright Tunes Music Corporation v. Harrisong Music Ltd.

Both songs have a similar rhythm but the lyrics are completely different. I don't think George Harrison borrowed his musical ideas from Ronald Mack's tune 'He's so Fine' and he should not have lost the case.
