Supreme Court rules against Warhol's use of Prince photo.

The Supreme Court ruled that Andy Warhol's use of a Prince photograph infringed on the copyright of the photographer who took the original image. The court upheld the power of copyrights and rejected the claim that artists may freely use original works if they transform them into something new and different. The ruling may have limited impact as it focused on the commercial use of both works, but it could have ramifications for the film industry and documentary filmmakers who rely on "fair use" as a defense for using clips of copyrighted works.
