Posted May 10, 2006 06:54 PM

Bill Graham Archives, LLC. v. Dorling Kindersley Ltd., No. 05-2514 (2d Cir. May 09, 2006) Summary judgment in favor of defendants, on their fair use defense to copyright infringement action, is affirmed over claims that: 1) as the publication is biographical in nature, the district court erred by failing to examine defendants' justification for its use of copyrighted images in it; and 2) merely placing the images along a timeline in the publication is not a transformative use.
