  If the Law is an Ass; these lawyers must be the holes... Yahoo! News - Suit Alleges Madonna Copied Photos: Me, to the defense of Madonna? I'd never have dreamed it, but the copyright and trademark stuff being tried these days is driving me nuts. Here we have a guy who claims that Madonna posed  (in a video) in ways that are similar to poses struck by various models in photographs by his Dad, famed French fashion photographer Guy Bourdin. According to the AP, "The lawsuit includes comparisons of Bourdin's photographs with video images of Madonna. In one Bourdin picture, a scantily clad woman peers into a round mirror. Madonna does the same. In another Bourdin picture, a woman squats on a floor with what appears to be a large television-size screen between her legs. Madonna does the same." OK, to recap, you can say fair and balanced, but Fox Entertainment is not happy about that, and you might not be able to use the number 22 anymore, if Abercrombie & Fitch have their way. Now, maybe its a problem if you pose in a way that someone else has posed before. Hmmm... My Dad took pictures of teenaged people, posed in front of a fireplace, wearing formal clothing; the male a bouteneer, the female a corsage attached to her wrist. HIGH SCHOOL CLASS OF 2004!
