"Kat Von D Prevails in Copyright Battle Over Miles Davis Tattoo"
Celebrity tattoo artist Kat Von D wins a copyright infringement trial over her use of a photograph of Miles Davis for a tattoo, with jurors ruling that her reproduction was not substantially similar to the original image and therefore did not violate copyright law. The jury also found that her related social media posts qualified as fair use. Von D expressed relief at the verdict, stating that the case should never have been brought, while the photographer's lawyer plans to appeal the decision. This trial adds to the ongoing debate over what constitutes fair use of copyrighted material, following a recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling on a similar case involving Andy Warhol's portraits of Prince.
