Does Transformative Matter? Not When Money and Copyright Come Into Play.   While courts have long focused on a work’s “transformative” nature in determining whether the unauthorized use of another copyright-protected work constitutes “fair use,” the U.S. Supreme Court’s recent ruling in Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, Inc. v. Goldsmith et al. suggest that rationale no longer applies – at least when the use is commercial.   In their new blog post, Akerman Intellectual Property Partner Ira Sacks and Special Counsel Victoria J. B. Doyle explain why money and copyright won out over Andy Warhol and the “Orange Prince” and explore the implications for creators and copyright holders moving forward.   To read our latest blog, please click here: https://lnkd.in/ggPNCS7a    #intellectualproperty #copyright #intellectualpropertylawyer
