Obama iconographer Shepard Fairey is filing a lawsuit to pre-empt claims from the Associated Press that his famous “Hope” poster made unfair use of their photograph, from which the image is derived.

Generating revenue by appropriating the property of others while hiding behind an image-driven PR campaign predicated on vaporous hope and undetermined change? Shepard Fairey shouldn’t be selling the Obama administration, he should be in the Obama administration. The “Dump Biden” movement starts today! (Actually, it seems to have started yesterday.)
