10. Response to Hope Poster

I feel as though it is wrong for Shepard Fairey to be accused of copyright infringement. To me he clearly took an image and altered it so that there was a completely different meaning/message from what was intended. This in itself is good enough reason for him not to be accused of copyright. If you take something and then give it a new meaning then I believe you are not copyrighting the material. You are remixing the material in a way that should be accepted by the general public. Instead it seems as though right away fingers are being pointed, rather then sitting down and thinking about the matter.
