On Thursday, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled Andy Warhol violated the copyrights of a photographer by using her images of late music icon Prince in one of his screen print creations.
Lynn Goldsmith, one of music’s most storied photographers who also have historic images of industry titans like Bob Dylan and Bruce Springsteen, captured the legend’s image. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled seven to two, in the decision that Warhol did not make legal “fair use” of the photos.
According to Billboard, Warhol’s attorneys argued for re-using images in hopes of not “chill” creativity. Instead, they received a verdict, led by Justice Sonia Sotomayor, stating Warhol was going for the same commercial purpose as Goldsmith.
