The whole thing smells of publicity stunt by Warner Bros, and a money grab by the tattooist.
- hugh3 15y agoA better picture: http://s-ak.buzzfed.com/static/imagebuzz/terminal01/2011/4/29/16/mike-tysons-tattoo-artist-sues-over-the-hangover--9026-1304107834-24.jpg http://s-ak.buzzfed.com/static/imagebuzz/terminal01/2011/4/2... They are actually pretty darn similar, though Helms' tattoo is a bit different -- a little squarer. My gut feeling is that the lawsuit doesn't have merit, though I have difficulty putting together a legal justification of why that is. My general feeling is that the actual tattoo design is too generic a combination of random Maori design elements to be copyrightable. But no, I don't think this is a publicity stunt by Warner Bros. But yes, clearly it is a money grab by the tattooist.

- hugh3 15y agoI thought about the parody defence, that might also work.
