Submit Your Most Profitable Photo

There is actually one case where it was fought the idea was original enough to be considered infringed by the copy because the copy photo was so similar to the original in subject, location and post production I think if you google UK red bus you will find more info about it it was a picture of a UK red bus in selective color on a bridge in front of parliament. Also David Lachapelle sued Rihana for copying his photos in her videos and Rihana settled the case by paying Lachappelle. I will see if I can find the original articles https://www.copyrightuser.org/educate/the-game-is-on/episode-1-case-file-1/ and https://www.theguardian.com/music/2011/oct/20/rihanna-david-lachapelle-l... it seems homeland would rather pay the artist to use the idea than be involved in a lawsuit or internet scandal regardless if they are protected by copyright laws and if they did indeed paid the photographer for the idea they saw elsewhere good for them it shows a moral compass sometimes big companies rather just ask for permission to copy to avoid the scandal alone is not worth it if they can just pay a few thousand dollars out of the multi million dollar budget and not have to deal with it in the long run. I will say I actually like the real journalistic look of this photo versus the overly edited and fake looking Homeland cover though.
