<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dcarr, post: 2316775, member: 4781&quot;]Your original argument focused on the <i>designs:</i></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>But now you are changing it to the format in which the designs are presented.</p><p>The point is, every work of art is based on (inspired) by something that came before it. Warhol <i>closely</i> copied the original graphic art of the soup can label. That originally was not his. But the painting is still generally recognized as an iconic work of modern art.</p><p><br /></p><p>Your &quot;better comparison&quot; is not better. If you took a genuine can of Cambell&#039;s soup and used a red marker to change the &quot;m&quot; to an &quot;n&quot;, what you have is an <i>altered</i> can of Campbell&#039;s soup, not a <i>copy</i> of a can of Campbell&#039;s soup. And you could legally sell it as your own soup can edition.</p><p><br /></p><p>Another (actually better) comparison:</p><p>Buy some brand new Chevrolet Corvettes. Paint some stripes on them and install superchargers. Then sell them as your own [brand name] edition Chevrolet Corvette. This is perfectly legal and is an industry accepted practice, with several companies such as Greenwood having done it. There are many other examples like Yenko (Camaros/Novas/Chevelles/Corvairs), Saleen (Mustangs), etc.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
