Supreme Court: Warhol's image breached copyright.

The US Supreme Court has ruled that Andy Warhol's painting of Prince infringed on the copyright of the original photographer, Lynn Goldsmith. The court ruled that Warhol's work did not fall under fair-use laws by seven votes to two. The Andy Warhol Foundation argued that his work was sufficiently transformative from Goldsmith's photo, which the painting was based off. Justice Sonia Sotomayor wrote Goldsmith's "original works, like those of other photographers, are entitled to copyright protection, even against famous artists".

Supreme Court rules against Warhol estate in Prince artwork copyright case.

The US Supreme Court ruled that Andy Warhol's use of Lynn Goldsmith's photograph of Prince in a silkscreen series was not immune from her copyright infringement lawsuit. The ruling focused on the licensing of only one of Warhol's Prince images and did not deem the entire silkscreen series a copyright violation. The case was watched closely in the art world and entertainment industry for its implications regarding the legal doctrine called fair use, which promotes freedom of expression by allowing the use of copyright-protected works under certain circumstances without the owner's permission.

Supreme Court Limits Fair Use for Andy Warhol's Prince Print Series.

The US Supreme Court has ruled that Andy Warhol's use of a photographer's portrait of Prince for a series of pop-art images was not protected by fair use, limiting the reach of the defense to copyright infringement claims. The court found that the photographer's "original works, like those of other photographers, are entitled to copyright protection, even against famous artists" like Warhol. The decision tests the reach of the defense and how courts should evaluate if works based on others are meaningfully transformative enough to qualify as a different piece.

Supreme Court Rules Against Warhol in Prince Copyright Case.

The US Supreme Court has ruled that Andy Warhol infringed on the copyright of photographer Lynn Goldsmith when he used her original black-and-white portrait of the late singer Prince to create a series of 16 silkscreen prints. The court rejected the Andy Warhol Foundation’s claim that the silkscreens were “transformative” enough to justify fair use. The decision sets a precedent for copyright protections and fair use limitations. The case revolved around one image in particular from Warhol’s Prince series, “Orange Prince.”

The US Supreme Court has ruled that Andy Warhol infringed on photographer Lynn Goldsmith's copyright when he created a series of silk screen images based on a photograph Goldsmith shot of the late musician Prince in 1981.

The ruling is likely to have a big impact on cases involving the "sampling" of existing artworks in the future.

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.
