Judge Dismisses Copyright Suit Against Ryan McGinley as “Wasteful”

Not all copying results in copyright infringement.

One might have hoped that [plaintiff's] attorneys, presumably familiar with the basic tenets of copyright and intellectual property law, would have recognized the futility of this action before embarking on a long, costly, and ultimately wasteful course of litigation in a court of law.

Sometimes it is tough to face reality that someone else did a better job creatively. Not to say that Janine’s work isn’t good, someone else just took the ideas and moved them forward in a profitable venture. I am not surprised by the ruling.

When this circumstance happens to us, it means we need to work harder at what we do. c’est-la-vie
