Concerning Shepard Fairey and the Obama photo, the man who took the picture isn't suing Fairey, it's the AP. When asked about it the camera man
didn't seem to care about suing Fairey.

Honestly I think it's in Fair Use.

But Shepard Fairey is definitely stealing artwork and not doing anything except changing the color or adding a star to it or something real simple, and that is blatant plagiarism. It's trying to make an easy buck without having to actually come up with your own ideas.

Shepard Fairey should be sued.
