Wow, that was pretty blatant "appropriating" on the part of Prince. That is good news.

I may end up being happy and think I will but it does lead to other questions about how much of a copyrighted work or trademarked image may appear in a work of art? I had wondered how he has gotten away with it for as long as he has but courts can be funny and take something like this ruling and go too far in protecting copyrighted/trademarked images/material that end up in legitimate works of art and what exactly is fair use? I think this is an extreme case and wonder how common this is. I mean look at Warhol and would he have been able to do those Copyrighted/Trademark soup cans these days or many of his other works?
