Can Appropriation Artist Claim Copyright Over Artwork Appropriated From The Same Original?
http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20100507/0231219332.shtml
This article addresses the appropriation of the originally piece appropriated in Roy Lichtenstein Kiss V into the album cover done by artist Brittany Pyle for the band Elsinore.
Perhaps copyright should evolve to protect meanings instead of images and words. When appropriation takes place, the meaning is altered; so is it really the same thing? Copyright seems to just complicate artwork as in the appropriation debate between Lichtenstein's estate and artist Brittany Pyle.
