Cute Girls in Pink Coats Copyright

Who Owns Cute Girls in Pink Coats on Daddy’s Shoulders? | Greenberg Glusker Fields Claman & Machtinger LLP - JDSupra: " . . . it is important to keep in mind that every jurisdiction has its own test for copyright infringement. Federal courts in California might apply something called the “Extrinsic/Intrinsic” analysis, which is different from the Boston-based court’s “dissection” analysis. A New York federal court would employ yet a third test, asking if an ordinary person viewing the two competing works and conclude they had the same “total look and feel?” Under any of these tests, however, it seems likely that Sony would have prevailed: the studio’s photograph lacks the excitement and aesthetic quality of the original, while the ominous green leaves and lack of sunshine convey a dark impression quite different from Harney’s overall effect of lightness and father-daughter bonding. Later events and revelations turned Harney’s photograph into a metaphor, whereas Sony took a literal approach for the deception that was Clark Rockefeller. But these sorts of variations in an ostensibly “federal law” are the just kind of thing that keeps lawyers in business, laypeople generally disgusted with the law, and curious readers coming back to this blog. So perhaps we can conclude that the real winner in Sony Pictures’ case was, as usual, the lawyers."
