Warner Bros. is being sued for using a copy of Mike Tyson’s tattoo in a movie without the permission of the original artist. If the case goes against Warner, they may have to have the tattoo digitally altered when they release the dvd.
Warner is a victim of censorship here, plain and simple. But given that Warner makes money by threatening similar censorship against everyone else, it’s hard to feel sympathetic. For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind.
Addendum:
Oh, this is too good to be true. The artist who claims Warner Bros. stole his tattoo design is being charged with stealing it in turn from the Maori. (CHT Stephan.)
