Warning: you now can be sued for drawing something
FUAP.
this is getting more and more ridiculous
Florida State Attorney General Angela Corey?
What a disgusting POS.
He should have put a pigs nose on her.
Hard to believe people like her are given power and authority.
I'm sure they're filing lawsuits against all the Zero sycophants for copying their "Zero with a Halo" photos they always seem to be taking.
imagine the NUMBER of lawsuits against andy warhol if this attitude had existed some decades ago.
he have died in debtors prison.
im no big warhol fan by the way
AP can naturally go to the lowest level of hell. But still, I can’t see why Zimmerman can’t wrap his head around the idea of laying low. he’s gonna be nailed to the wall everytime he gets so much as a parking ticket. Maybe he should give going off the grid a shot.
The photo is copyrighted, the subject is not. He is not using the photo. He painted a depiction. If I paint a Ford F150, am I infringing on Ford’s patents?
This is crazy AP crap.
Didn’t the guy who created the Che Obama poster use a copyrighted image?
Two defenses:
Fair political use.
After seeing her, Stand Your Ground.
Holy cow! The Catholic Church needs to sue the AP!!!
Hey ‘Uncle Chip’ ....How does a rendition of a photograph violate a copyright.....its not like he reproduced the label of your can of soup.....now that would be ...Wrong.

You can’t paint Elvis on velvet.
The AP must be mistaken. In the picture they took Angie is wearing her necklace with a cross.
This must be a different picture — different day — or maybe a different Angie.
After sitting through a lengthy trial and seeing her right there in the courtroom for weeks I would think her face would be burned in his memory. That is obviously what he painted her from memory.
This isn’t about cowardice, it is a manner of basic survival instinct. Zimmerman had not been acting intelligently at all since the trail; getting in a domestic abuse dispute was about one of the dumbest things he could possibly conceive of. The fact that the chosen source of massive race baiting hysteria is someone with a highly limited at best amount of situational awareness. It essentially allows the race card players to even further extend their credit limit.
A drawn picture is not a copy AP IDIOTS!
