Quotes
"In an attempt to conceal my mistake, I submitted false images and deleted other images. I sincerely apologize for my lapse in judgment, and I take full responsibility for my actions, which were mine alone."
— Shepard Fairey on October 17, 2009
"This was a brain-dead move by Mr. Fairey, and it could be the turning point. His lawyers will still be able to argue that he made a' fair use' under copyright law, but it's a whole lot less likely that the court or jury will think that what he did was actually' fair' if he has lied and tried to mislead the entire world about what use he made."
