Annie Leibovitz Sued for Copyright Infringement
Annie Leibovitz has been sued. Allegedly, she’s stolen a background, and passed it off as her own shot.
Reportedly, Leibovitz hired Paolo Pizzetti last year to scout locations for a calendar she was shooting for the Italian coffee company LavAzza.
Leibovitz did indeed shoot photos for the calendar, which was supposed to be themed “The Italian Espresso Experience,” but she couldn’t actually make it to Italy to photograph the models.
No problem—she just shot her models in New York and then pasted them onto photos taken in scenic Italian backgrounds. No muss, no fuss, the check cleared.
But Pizzetti wasn’t in on the joke, apparently, and was shocked to find his background shot actually in the calendar—that’s the photo at issue.
