Copyright questions abound on altered books and related lists. "Fair Use Fighter" Siva Vaidhyanathan, posted a copy of The Chronicle of Higher Education article describing why an entire anthology was recalled after a copyright fair-use challenge. After reading my last post on copyright blues, someone on the An Art A Day Yahoo list, pointed me to this decision in favor of an artist who photographed Barbie in parody. I'm not a lawyer, nor do I play one on TV, so don't ask me. Now go forth and create...lawfully.

Malchiodi: The Soul's Palette: Drawing on Art's Transformative Powers
Graham Rawle: Woman's World: A Novel
A funky gluebook-style novel that almost didn't make it past the 50 page mark, but then there was an interesting twist that's got me reading to the end. I bought it for the style, I'm reading it because the story gets interesting after those first few pages.Eric Maisel: The Van Gogh Blues: The Creative Person's Path Through Depression
I avoided this book for so long UNTIL I saw Eric Maisel at Artella as part of his virtual book tour. The book accomplished its goal and I'm working on a new research project. Something I haven't done in way too long.
I am the editor of the anthology that was pulled in the story you describe here "Copyfight: University Press Refuses to Be Fair Use Guinea Pig". A small non-profit (I am its president) has reprinted this anthology and we are selling it on our web-site http://www.rebeccaclarke.org/reader.html
So you can purchase it and read a banned book today!
