CBS Sunday Morning on Feb. 22 on Shepard Fairey matter

By Lawrence B. Ebert, Esq.

On 22 Feb 09, CBS Sunday Morning had a piece on Shepard Fairey, including mention of the Obama Hope poster. CBS was way behind on its facts, neglecting to mention that Lemley's law firm had brought a DJ action on behalf of Shepard Fairey against AP. Also didn't mention issue of "who owns" the copyright in the picture.

CBS did mention Fairey's interaction with Andre the Giant. {Andre the Giant and his Posse, and the Obey theme).

There was mention of one Medvedow from Boston. There was an oblique reference to the mustashio'd Mona Lisa [Cross-reference: L.H.O.O.Q. (French slang -- "Elle a chaud au cul.") ]
