The Associated Press wants to be compensated financially over the use of aphoto that Sheppard Fairey modeled his iconic poster after. The photo was taken by an AP temp who is no longer with the organization. Fairey feels that his use of the image falls under "Free use" which takes into account how the original source material has been altered into becoming something new. Sheppard has also stated that he has not made any money off of the image. This leaves the question of who the AP wants to get money from, President Obama?
