Today, Baio announced he had paid $32,000 in a copyright settlement — not over the music, which he licensed from the publisher, but over the album cover, a pixel art version of the iconic Kind of Blue cover photographed by Jay Maisel.

Very interesting article though. I like that he included plenty of other related situations and examples.

poor guy, he still think he was doing it right...
...but why did he license all the music for his project but not the artwork? expensive mistake.

This is why I loath photographers, their archaic medium protected by archaic copyright law.

I love this quote from that NY Mag article:
' Maisel recalls. “Klein said, ‘This is why I hate photographers. They want the Taj Mahal and they want it for six bucks a month. No, I don’t have a lot like this.’ ” '

I thought the rule was you had to change over 51% of the image? In this case he failed. Right?
