Appropriation Art Can Spark Legal Battles :

Artists who use others’ works to create something new must be cautious about fair use claims and potential copyright infringement.

Fair Use Isn’t Always Clear-Cut :

The interpretation of fair use can vary depending on the context, with courts determining whether the new work truly transforms the original or just copies it.

Artistic Intent Matters, But So Does Interpretation :

What one artist sees as transformative may not be viewed the same way by others, including judges, highlighting the subjectivity of art and copyright.

Legal Precedents Aren’t Set in Stone :

Court rulings can be overturned, as seen when the initial ruling in favor of Cariou was reversed, showing how fluid IP law can be.

Imitation vs. Inspiration :

When creating art, make sure to avoid crossing the line into imitation. Originality and creativity should always be at the forefront to avoid legal issues.
