Another artist gets sued for copyright infringement

First it was Shepard Fairey, then Jeff Koons, and now, according to the Art Newspaper, LA artist Thierry Guetta, aka Mr. Brainwash, is the latest popular artist to be involved in a copyright kerfuffle.

Mr. Brainwash is being sued for basing a work from his 2008 show "Life is Beautiful" on a popular photo of Run DMC.

I wonder if art schools are adding IP classes to their curricula?
