Madonna sued for photocopying (Oct 03 2003 15:59 GMT) - JB writes "Madonna is being sued for copying the works of Guy Bourdin (a fashion photographer) in the video of her song "Hollywood." The original photographer's son, Samuel Bourdin, claims he holds the rights to the images created by his father, who died in 1991. The lawsuit, filed in Manhattan, accuses Madonna of copyright infringement because she imitated poses and images in at least 11 works of Bourdin, whose photos were published in French Vogue from the mid-1950s through the late 1980s. Bourdin is requesting unspecified compensation. His claim is against Madonna, MTV, and production companies. |
