The Supreme Court's Warhol decision: Pro-Artist or Anti-Art?
TL;DR
Justice Elena Kagan dissented against the Supreme Court's 7-2 ruling against the Andy Warhol Foundation in a copyright case featuring a Prince portrait by Andy Warhol. Kagan accused her colleagues of hypocrisy and stifling creativity, while quoting "The Sound of Music." The majority ruled that Warhol had infringed on Lynn Goldsmith's copyright of her portrait of Prince by creating an orange silk screen print of the photo. Kagan argued that the ruling would stifle creativity and make the world poorer.
