Thousands and thousands of $$ have been made from the sale of one of the most recognizable images of Pres. Obama, designed by street artist Shepard Fairey.  Now the AP wants credit and compensation;  the AP says it owns the copyright.

And what is so bad about the AP wanting what they deserve? Fairey has infringed on many artists. He steals from Latino culture often. This punk needs to go down because most artists can't afford to challenge him in court.
