If I were in NYC tomorrow, I would sure make every effort to hear this distinguished panel discussing appropriation art: The Patry Copyright Blog: Appropriation Art Conference. Patry's blog entry on the panel discussion notes Jeff Koons' 2005 fair use win for a transformative use of another's photograph Blanch v. Koons), in stark contrast to his "String of Puppies" loss years ago (Rogers v. Koons). Patry discussed the Koons win in more detail in an earlier entry. Tomorrow's Conference is sponsored by the College Art Association.
