What? So now the only legal 'pop' art' involving trademarked/branded images will be that created by the related brandholder's agency of record? Given that most ad agency art directors are complete hacks and just completely devoid of talent (trust me on this one, because I *do* know)...Start collecting the good stuff now; you may not be able to afford it down the road! Really, what a horrible piece of legislation. Then again, in a country where large corporations are treated like demigods, with vast and creepy influence over the government, I suppose certain people may see this as a sort of anti-blasphemy play. Filthy, ignorant dunderheads! Holy Andy Warhol, Batman!
