The photo facebook chose for his automatically generated 'community profile' just so happens to be a low resolution side by side of the two images in question, with no caption explaining that they're in fact different pictures.
So now Maisel has accomplished exactly the opposite of what he intended to. By suing Baio, he brought prominence to what would have otherwise been a very low distribution album, and now his facebook photo is the very image he was trying to bury.
- zach 15y agoIt's from the Jay Maisel Wikipedia article, which is a lot more notable than the Facebook page for him. It's there because it was uploaded from Andy Baio's article and described as his own CC-licensed work despite his assertion that it was fair use of Maisel's copyrighted image. I wouldn't count on it being there for too long given the level of scrutiny Wikipedia images endure. Where do you get this impression Jay Maisel is trying to suppress the album? He settled for a substantial amount of money and got the image pulled, so he has no reason to be unhappy at this point. Buying the album is support for Andy and this project, not a way to frustrate Maisel.
- milkshakes 15y agoWhat? I never said he was trying to suppress the album. I was just talking about the picture.
- zach 15y agoOkay, I get it now -- I didn't follow your argument the first time I read it. Sorry about that. In any case, the image is gone from both places now.
