Shepard Fairey goes after AP for reprinting pictures of HOPE poster

You know that old saw about how the best defense is a good offense? Well, artist Shepard Fairey appears to be giving that approach a try with his recent suit against the Associated Press, alleging that AP reprinted his now-iconic HOPE poster without his permission.

The AP, if you recall, recently filed suit against Fairey alleging that he infringed their copyright by basing the HOPE poster on an AP photo without permission.
