String of Puppies

This particular issue was discussed in Chapter 5 of POL, in a case of Rogers v. Koons. This copyright issue occurred when a photographer took a picture of a man and women holding a bunch of puppies and used them for postcards and other goods. Then, an American artist, Jeff Koons, sent a copy of that image without the copyright label, to an Italian studio to be produced into a statue. After Rogers tried suing him, the court's ruled in Koons favor saying it was derivative and not transformative. I don't know if I necessarily agree with this topic, because if a photographer is really going to go through all that work to take a photograph and crop, edit and publish it and for someone else to take the credit for that, it's not really fair and I think that is one great example of an image reproduction that takes away from the quality and integrity from one's work.
