That sounds like a lousy decision to me. When an artist uses a photo as the basis of a piece of art it is no different than painting a landscape. It is only a representation of something.

I believe the problem was that he "lifted it" electronically. Then he colored it in. href="http://s466.photobucket.com/albums/rr29/jjbdigitalart/?action=view¤t=OBAMASELECTION2.jpg" target="_blank">

That still seems to me like a substantial alteration. It’s not like he was selling copies of the pic. No one would look at the photo and the poster and consider them to be the same thing.

I don’t remember Nordstrom’s selling Bush shirts yet they sold Obama ‘Hope’ shirts. Won’t shop there anymore.

Anyone looking at the two can clearly see that one is based on the other. A derivative work is covered by copyright law.

it undermines the AP's ability to cover the news. They have undermined their credibility all by themselves.
Someone making a buck off and image they created and continue to perpetuate, somehow impairs their ability to prop up that POS. That's what the issue really is
