Answer
The Obama Hope Poster, an iconic depiction of then-presidential candidate Barack Obama, embroiled Shepard Fairey in a copyright dispute in 2008. The artist used an Associated Press photograph of Obama as reference without permission, raising concerns over intellectual property rights and artistic expression. Fairey eventually reached a settlement, acknowledging the original photographer's contribution while preserving the poster's significance as a symbol of hope and political change.
