Thierry "Mr. Brainwash" Guetta loses copyright case with photographer Glen E. Friedman
• Mr. Brainwash took a iconic photo from Run D.M.C and was outside the bounds of the copyright law
• Mr. Brainwash got the picture from the internet
• He wasen’t aware that the picture was already in a published book
• Mr. Brainwash altered the photo and projected it onto a large piece of wood, painted the image on the wood, and glued 1,000 pieces of phonograph records onto the wood. The resulting artwork was displayed and used to advertise Mr. Brainwash's "Life is Beautiful" installation in Los Angeles, which becomes the dramatic turning point in Exit from the Gift Shop.
• He argued that the picture was not original
• Was guilty for infringement
