TL;DR Summary

The Supreme Court ruled against Andy Warhol's foundation in a copyright case involving a silkscreen of musician Prince based on a photographer's image. The foundation argued that the artwork was transformative and fell under the fair use doctrine, but the court sided with the photographer, stating that original works are entitled to copyright protection. The decision could have implications for artistic creation and how courts interpret and enforce copyright law. The case is expected to impact small businesses and the movie industry. The vote count was unusual, with both conservative and liberal justices on both sides of the decision.
