“Photographer Appeals Ninth Circuit Verdict in Miles Davis Tattoo Copyright Case”

A legal battle continues to unfold as a photographer has appealed to the Ninth Circuit, challenging a jury verdict regarding a tattoo by [Kat Von D](https://www.law360.com/articles/2322631/photographer-tells-9th-circ-kat-von-d-tattoo-is-not-fair-use). The contention arises from the allegation that Kat Von D used a photograph of jazz legend Miles Davis as the basis for the tattoo. The photographer asserts that the artwork is “100%” identical to the original photograph, urging the court to overturn the decision that declared the tattoo did not infringe copyright laws. This case remains a significant point of discussion as it addresses the nuanced intersection of art, copyright, and fair use doctrines in the legal domain.
