Davidson v. United States
A case involving a photograph of the Lady Liberty replica statue in Las Vegas, which was reprinted on U.S. postage stamps under the mistaken belief that the photograph was of the original statue in New York.
The U.S. Court of Federal Claims ruled in favor of the sculptor in the amount of $3.5 million plus interest. The USPS argued that the replica statue “is too similar to the original in New York Harbor and that the government’s use copied nothing original to plaintiff,” and also asserted a fair use defense. But the court held that “Mr. Davidson’s work was original and … the Postal Service’s use of it was not permitted by statute.”
