NYC’s Met Museum Sued Over Use of Eddie Van Halen Guitar Photo

摘要

The Metropolitan Museum of Art published a picture of Eddie Van Halen playing guitar on its website without permission, a photographer alleged in Manhattan federal court. Lawrence Marano, a Parkland, Fla.-based photographer, said the Met used an unauthorized photo of a young, shirtless Van Halen playing “Frankenstein,” his red-and-white guitar. Marano is suing the museum for copyright infringement in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York.
