Fair Use versus Fairey Use

Brian Sherwin, Senior Editor at My Art Space, delves deeper into the whole Shepard Fairey and his definition of fair use.

Read his blog post, titled "Disobey Shepard Fairey".

"The contradictions involving Shepard Fairey are widespread. Unfortunately, the major media has barely reported on this aspect of Shepard Fairey and "fair use". Instead, most have conveniently championed Fairey as an advocate for “fair use”-- which is obviously false. If anything, Shepard Fairey is a champion for his own work involving "fair use"."


Post-Post Script: The funny thing is that as I was reading this article the Google ad at the top of the page was for a signed Shepard Fairey "HOPE" poster.

You should read Sherwin's response to Shepard Fairey referencing statement on Obeygiant and Huffington Post.
