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.]
I’m not suggesting he lie or cheat, btw. If he really did just print out the AP photo, he needs to cop to it. Otoh, the image of Corey’s face in that pose is one everyone’s videofeed who recorded the trial. I assume it’s on Youtube. W proper representation on Zim’s side, it seems doubtful AP can prevail.
