EFF: Deep Links: "...According to this AP story, the man who put a tattoo on the right arm of Pistons forward Rasheed Wallace is suing to stop Wallace from 'displaying' his artwork in ads for Nike basketball shoes... Over the past year we've unfortunately witnessed some absurd examples of copyright overreaching... and now the suggestion that athletes should cover their tattooed arms if they wish to avoid lawsuits. Rarely has the need to defend fair use been so vividly illustrated. For more examples of such overreach, check out the definitive reference tome, David Bollier's Brand Name Bullies."
