The Supreme Court vs. Andy Warhol

A few days ago, the Supreme Court tried to answer a question that has long bedeviled the world of art: When is borrowing from an earlier artist an act of inspiration, and when is it theft?
Adam Liptak, who covers the court for The Times, explains a case that could change how art is made.
Guest: Adam Liptak (www.nytimes.co...) , who covers the United States Supreme Court for The New York Times.
Background reading:
• The Supreme Court justices considered whether the artist Andy Warhol was free to use (www.nytimes.co...) elements of a rock photographer’s portrait of the musician Prince.
