TL;DR Summary

The US Supreme Court has ruled that Andy Warhol was not entitled to use a photographer's portrait of Prince for an image of the musician that his estate licensed to a magazine, limiting the scope of the fair-use defense to copyright infringement in the realm of visual art. The decision was made by a 7-2 vote, with Justice Sonia Sotomayor writing for the majority. Justice Elena Kagan, joined by Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr., dissented, writing that the decision "will stifle creativity of every sort."
