I quite like this comment:
This discussion is the difference between copying and deriving. Fairey derived his Obama image from an original photograph. It is in terms of artistic usage, drastically different from the original...no longer a photograph.
Werner copied Fairey's use of the word OBEY. Anyone who knows anything about art knows this word is trademarked by Fairey and is a part of his brand. As much as the target symbol and the swoosh...it is his "mark". Werner most likely used it thinking he'd get away with it or get some publicity out of it....which seems to be working.
Oh fuck right off, you cock.
- But that is incorrect, the word OBEY is copyrighted by Sprite/ Coca Cola.Meeklo
