Prof. McGeveran Criticizes Jeff Koons' Copyright Claim

Professor William McGeveran wrote a column in Capital New York strongly criticizing a recent copyright claim by the famous artist Jeff Koons against the sale of bookends in the shape of balloon dogs. Koons is famous for giant sculptures of balloon dogs, but McGeveran writes, "He wants somehow to leverage his limited rights in a particular sculpture of a balloon dog into control over the object that gives his sculpture its meaning."
