Donald Trump is Suing

Tinydancer · Guru

It's his image she's using in a derogatory way. I hope he wins. Being an artist doesn't mean you get to insult people with no backlash.

FNW · Guru

What TD said.

lilyofcourse · My spirit animal is a pink flamingo.

Nice try, though.

weltschmerz · Guru

I'll bet if his penis was portrayed as being the size of a fire hose, he'd be fine with it.

No free speech and no free expression if it's derogatory?

Tinydancer · Guru

It's HIS image. He should have some say over it now shouldn't he.

Lexxy · My dog name is Sasha, too!

If everyone had just ignored her the damn thing probably wouldn't be worth a million dollars.

weltschmerz · Guru

Like Obama should have had some say when he was portrayed as a monkey?
He didn't run out and sue like a great big baby.

weltschmerz · Guru

In any case, this Trump portrait looks just like him.

Tinydancer · Guru

There was a big todo over that so you're making my point.

No one was making money from that...

You have to have permission to be compensated for using a person's image.

Stealing the "likeness" of another (without consent) for commercial use is prohibited and not protected under the First Amendment. It might be different in your country, but that's how it works here.

Thank you.

But it's okay since Obama is:

A Liberal

The Anti-Christ

A terrorist

(I'm sure there's more, but I've forgotten...)

TrudyML · Guru

I looked. Mistake. I hope he wins.

FNW · Guru

According to an article I read, he's pursuing the commercial misappropriation angle. I wonder, if he went with the "false, misleading, or deceptive speech" route, if he'll have to "prove" the falsity.

1. That wasn't for commercial sale, it was a satirical cartoon.

2. It wasn't a NAKED monkey.

It's not a bad likeness.

I guess I must miss the point of this whole thread from occupydemocrats.com I do not get bashing the individuals running based on things like this. Let them win or lose based on facts and real information, not mud slinging.

Seriously. How much more childish can you get than insulting a man's penis size. What's next, they going to start going to him at all his appearances?

I know what to do_sometimes · Frozen Sucks!

She is barely out of her teens, troubled background. And thinks "art" of a man with a small c*ck is something to behold? And a fake "model" at that. It is the same as making fun of a woman with small b00bs if those small b00bs are embarrassing to the woman. Of course the name "Gore" was not lost on me so I had to look her up. This is a nothing story and the moron that pays money to buy this, well, a fool and his money are soon parted.

Well, I will say, thats a soft coock. Some men with soft Cooks are ENORMOUS hard....just sayin...

Wow, that's a really good photo shop.

Notice - those ARE photo shops. Not drawings of their actual bodies.

Lady Gaga Snerd · Guru

If Trump wants to sue, he can sue. However, i think he makes the painting more valuable by doing so.

Lawyerlady · On the bright side...... Christmas is coming! (Mod)

He can ask the judge for the painting, or to have it destroyed.

Lady Gaga Snerd · Guru

If he wins. Doesn't mean he will.

Lady Gaga Snerd · Guru

And, then the artist can recreate that in a slightly different way or some other artists will jump on the bandwagon. It's a painting and parody. No different than drawings in mad magazine, cartoons, etc. I think he is just adding fuel to the fire. If he ignored it, it would be recognized for what it is, a bad painting by a bad artist.

Dona Worry Be Happy · Vette's SS!!

I don't know, this is somewhat like posting nude photos with permission. Even though it is a painting and not a photo, I think it should be destroyed.

cadiver · Senior Member

I don't sreally it different than other satirical cartoon.

My feeling exactly. Don't give the artist any free publicity for her work. Just ignore & the painting will be worth nothing.

It's not a photograph. It's a painting. Should we eliminate all the cartoon drawings of him too? Yeah, it's rude and uncomfortable which is the point, but it isn't HIM. It's just a painting. So you destroy it and then what? How hard would it be to paint another ? Bobwhathisname can do a full painting in a half hour on pbs.
