Ninth Circuit Urged to Reconsider Kat Von D’s Fair Use Victory in Miles Davis Photograph Dispute

In a recent development, a photographer has requested that the Ninth Circuit reverse a decision made by a California federal jury, which found that celebrity tattoo artist Kat Von D did not infringe on a copyrighted photograph of Miles Davis. The photographer contends that Von D did not sufficiently demonstrate that her use of the photograph constituted fair use. This case highlights ongoing legal debates regarding copyright protections and artistic interpretations. More details on this case can be found in the original Law360 article.
