#1 Young people simply do not perceive that their actions have consequences. Nor that there are right things to do and wrong things to do. Nope, just do what I took a split-second to decide what was best for me, and fuck everything else.

#4 AP President and CEO Tom Curley said in a statement: 'Mr. Fairey started this case by suing the AP over copyright fair use issues."

Thou shall not confound the Lords of the Copyright.

"The AP never expected the case to take the turn that it did."

Were they expecting "hanging from a bridge" or "penniless for life and both hands broken"?

Seems I recall that Fairey also was assaulted and battered in Denmark last year. Apparently the artiste is having a rather long run of misfortune.
