andrewharrington Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Totally unexpected answer from my Copyright professor:If it's true that gladsadmad's photo was Fair Use when he made it, it keeps it's Fair Use status even if he lets ESPN put it on their website, and the original photographer does not have a claim. And it seemed like that applies no matter whether ESPN gave gladsadmad any money to use it or not. At least, that's what it seemed like to me...That seems odd to me, given the recent legal precedent set when AP sued Shepard Fairey for making an original drawing (the Obama HOPE poster) based on an AP photo. I still don't have a website, but I have a dribbble now! http://dribbble.com/andyharry [The postings on this site are my own and do not necessarily represent the position, strategy or opinions of adidas and/or its brands.] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That case actually applies to gladsadmad's making of his pic from the original Andrew Luck photo, not lestting ESPN use it at a later time. The thing is, at the time of gladsadmad making the photo, he (presumably) was just making it to post here and get our opinion's on it. This is fair use. And since it was fair use at the time of creation, he can still sell it to ESPN.Again, that's what it seemed like to me, and I could be mistaken.*I'm 15 minutes away from taking a final, so I don't have time to look it up. but we discussed that case in our class.

drdougfresh Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 And while we're on the topic of creating covers... EA NHL is running this on their fan page:https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10150833611945996.470837.333387460995&type=1Very interesting, since they seem to be promoting it.

I've learned some pretty cool tricks from some cover guys online.looks like they just turned up the contrast on all of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nash61 Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 They're pretty much all crap except these two. They're amazing.EA should hire the guy that did them.

They also beat a team comprised of Godzilla, the ghost of Abraham Lincoln, 2 Power Rangers and Betty White. Oh, and they played in the middle of Iraq on a military base. In the sand. With no ice. Santa gave them special sand-skates that allowed them to play in shorts and t-shirts in 115 degree weather. Jesus, Zeus and Buddha watched from the sidelines and ate cotton candy.

cshookemHORNS Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 They just posted another picture, but this it is of RG3 in a redskins. This is ridiculous. Just hope they consented him before these were posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
