It’s the stuff of mystery novels, with twists and turns and a very unexpected ending. A sculptor in the US was recently awarded more than $3M in damages for copyright infringement over misuse of his work.
The work: a replica of the Statue of Liberty, designed for a casino in Las Vegas. The culprit: the US Postal Service, who legitimately licensed a copy of an image taken of the replica by a photographer who offered it on Getty Images.
