Jeff Diehl of the blog "10 Zen Monkeys" says: "Jonathan Bailey from the Plagiarism Today blog (plagiarismtoday.com)
wrote a good, clean wrap-up of some of the legal aspects of the [Michael] Crook case."
Michael Crook does not own the copyright to the image in question. It is that simple. With photographs and videos, copyright law protects the photographer, not the model. It even says so on the United States Copyright Office Web site in plain English. Despite his claims of holding a "copyright interest" in the work, its copyright belongs squarely to Fox News, who has given clearance to use it.
