Three-way Battle for Hope Becomes Two-way

As we reported back in Episode 53, there’s been a three-way battle over the iconic Obama/Hope poster, with Shepard Fairey battling the Associated Press over whether his use of an AP photograph is fair use, and Manny Garcia battling the AP over whether they had rights to the photograph he took in the first place. However, today, Garcia dropped his suit, claiming a personal and professional toll.

The trial date for the Fairey/AP case has been set for March. (AP reports)
