Seems that the artist who did a tattoo on Mike Tyson, owns the copyright and is suing Warner Brothers for copyright violation for using a repro of oit on an actor in a movie about Tyson.

WB is (naturally) complaining that he never said anything about the previous movie they did and that filing the injunction days beforee the movie is to be released will be devastating.

Me, I think it's great that for once it's a *major* movie company on the receiving end of a copyright suit.

Alas for them, unlike trademarks, the fact that the copyright owner let them get away with it *last* time doesn't mean they get a free pass this time. And if it costs them tons of money, maybe they'll be a bit less arrogant in the future.

Given the MPAA's attitude, this is an excellent case of "what goes around, comes around" (aka, vastly accelerated karma)
