Zimmerman’s painting instructor said that he advised him to paint this way by projecting an image on canvas.
You would have thought that he would also have advised him on how to avoid copyright violations.
I do notice that there is no cross hanging from the necklace and the earrings are virtually nonexistent — but are those “significant” enough.
If enough “significant” changes are made then you might not be able to tell that it was Angie C.
And then you might enter the realm where you might be getting cease and desist letters from Angie.
Agree w your excellent points, UC. I just hope Zimmerman had a recorder going throughout his trial. If he did, cd he stop the feed at a certain point and print the screen image? If so, he cd print one that looks just like his pic. How wd that be copyright infringement?
[This idea isn’t original w me. It’s been expressed numerous times upthread. The difference being if Zim had a printed image, from his own feed, that he cd hold in his hand and show the judge—how then cd anyone prove he didn’t paint from it? We’ll just have to see how it all plays out.]
