More on the Burdeny-Leong saga

 

General Photography

There’s a lengthy article in the LA Times about the ongoing conflict between photographers Sze Tsung Leong and David Burdeny, which details how this actually involved, various previously unknown details, and opinions by various people, some involved in the case, others not. If you’re interested in the case, go and read it. Another must-read is a blog post by Sérgio Muñoz Sarmiento about the case. Sérgio maintains a blog about art and law, a must-read for anyone interested in copyright and/or fair use and especially about the various legal cases in front of judges. I know about copyright and fair use, but I actually had no idea how a case like Burdeny vs. Leong would/might play out, so I asked Sérgio about it. It will be interesting to see how this case is going to evolve.
