In AFP V Morel, Agence France Presse and Getty Images Disseminated Photos

In AFP v. Morel, Agence France Presse and Getty Images disseminated photos taken by Daniel Morel of the Haiti earthquake, photos that were tweeted from the island. A federal court ruled:

A) AFP, Getty and others could distribute Morel's photos without copyright violation because the photos were extremely newsworthy shots of the tragic earthquake
B) Morel's photos passed into the public domain when they were tweeted shortly after the Earthquake
C) AFP, Getty and others had a "fair use" defense because they gave Morel credit for the photos
D) Morel was entitled to $1.2 million for infringement of his copyrighted photos
E) None of the above.
