ANDY WARHOL FOUNDATION VS. GOLDSMITH

This case is similar to a prior case:

The copyright infringement saga of artist Andy Warhol was brought to a Supreme Court in the famous case of Campbell v. Prince. In this copyright struggle, Warhol's use of a photograph owned by photographer Patrick Carvell Prince to produce "screen prints" became contested. Oral arguments highlighted how far copyright infringement should go before being deemed as fair use and the extent of protection that copyright law provides. After examining the facts and relevant precedent, the court ruled in favor of Warhol due to his art being transformative in nature, thus defending his right to reuse other people's work under copyright law.
