Attorney: George Zimmerman stole photographer's work to make painting

Lawyer for photographer who took picture of Angela Corey: "You just can't do that."


I'm calling bullshit on this ... I watched the video carefully...and maybe the guy took the picture without a flash, but I don't see a camera flashing when she makes that exact move and face. Plenty flashing at other times. Could this be a screenshot he's claiming as his own? Not beneath John Phillips to edit and finagle. http://www.al.com/sports/index.ssf/2013 ... s_imp.html

I just did a quick rough screen shot.. without searching or viewing the entire vid.... it is too sickening.

I see your point, renewsit... no camera flashes at times Corey is doing her "finger pinch" thing.

I cannot stand her grinning while speaking. Reminds me of a flim-flam artist.

Maybe Zimmerman is trying to become the next Norman Rockwell? This doesn't apply to the copyright issue, but maybe to the complaints of the Traybots about copying photos and creating "artwork."

Thanks seeing-eye.. I saw that... was not sure whether to post it here myself... you made the decision for me.

I think I might post it somewhere else as well... just to note and appreciate the art involved. :)

:84 All this copyright crap is, well...crap. The AP is getting pathetic. If it's a public figure (or in AC's case, a public figure-less), then a picture taken for news should not have copyrights. Why not just let people copyright themselves? Then Sarah Palin could sue Tina Fey- right??

I am not a lawyer, so have no idea how this copyright stuff works. But I have to wonder if the artistic changes George made to the picture invalidates the copyright issue. Is there a law against using a copyrighted photo as a model for a piece of artwork that is different from the original copyrighted photo?

I think you guys are on to something concerning no flashes during that particular pose. I couldn't bring myself to watch her again. They Trayvonites are all over that George left out the crucifix. I think he left it out on purpose. She is not worthy.

Our friend El Hoff summed it up best.... John Phillips is just trying to stay relevant and in then media now that his role in the Jordan Davis/Michael Dunn case is finished being that the civil suit is settled.

Phillips, Wilson, and the AP are all ignoring.... well 2 points actually....

1. Zimmy never distributed the painting.... Robert Jr did... so the cease and desist threats are BS and meaningless

2. Zimmy never indicated he intended to sell it or profit from it.... Robert Jr did.. so again... it's all Zimmy haters trying to blow smoke up the public's ass!

AP wants George Zimmerman to suffer for his art

Posted by Mandy Nagy Friday, January 24, 2014 at 7:25pm

Claims painting of Angela Corey just a copy of AP photo
Image

Last month, Zimmerman earned a winning bid of just over $100,000 on eBay for one of his paintings.

The Associated Press, however, says that Zimmerman’s latest painting is a direct copy of one of the news agency’s photos and is demanding that any sale of the artwork be halted.

H/T Sibyl S. at CTH.... pointing to comment on the above article, regarding defensive tactic....

zencycler | January 25, 2014 at 12:21 am wrote:

“Here is how to thoroughly refute the AP’s case against GZ:

The picture that the AP took was done at a public appearance, with many other people both watching and taking pictures or videos.

For example, Ms. Corey’s exact same expression can be found at about the 1:19 mark on this video:



So even putting aside any other defenses (fair use, etc).. The AP’s copyright cannot extend to any use of that particular pose, since at this event was being captured by many other media sources on film and video.

Therefore, the ONLY thing that can be protected by the use of that copyright is the duplication and use of that EXACT picture.”

Sybrina Fulton still cashing in on her lies as Black History Month keynote speaker at University of New Mexico. Notice how Sybrina seems to pander EXCLUSIVELY to black groups.... black magazines, african studies programs etc and she has the audacity to harp about racism? http://news.unm.edu/news/sybrina-fulton ... ch-speaker

re "seems to pander".

Sybrina responds to speaking invitations that she receives. The Trayvon Martin issue has resonated strongly in the black community. It is only normal that this is where the invitations come from. It does not require any "pandering" on Sybrina's part.

I see George's painting and the AP claim are still being discussed. :doh :wall

I wonder if the AP thing is actually a "business" decision (which I can accept), or is it just petty spiteful nastiness?

I CAN understand that AP (or any photo copyright holder) would want: a) to protect their property from any use that would detract from any other use of the property, and b) want payment, either a one off or ongoing royalties. All legit business stuff. Image

I do wonder if this was any other Joe and not George whether AP would be concerned at all. Maybe George Zimmerman is a minority of one and is being singled out and victimised? :95

But is it simply that in this case? Seems to me we all KNOW what AP and their lawyer are... we should be just haggling over the price? :17 Image

This seems more than that... certainly as far as the Traybot Worrier types are concerned. Image

It is NOT just a matter of wanting George to pay AP a fair price or even a percentage of his profits....
They want George STOPPED..... punished.... imprisoned for even attempting to use a photo (allegedly) :Q37

:Q44

The propaganda machines (main stream media) are still trying to stomp George Zimmerman into the ground.
