Mike Tyson's Tattooer Sues Warner Bros.- The tattoo artist who did Mike Tyson's face claims Warner Bros. "pirated" his work to advertise its movie, "The Hangover 2." S. Victor Whitmill wants a federal judge to bar Warner Bros. from using the tattoo in its promotions, and damages for copyright infringement.

I wonder how this would be if it was not on the face.

The same Warner Bros. that keeps tattoo artists from replicating cartoon characters in their work ? Cool. Nice deep pockets too.

The second he finished putting the ink on Tysons face it became game for anyone else to get it/advertise it/etc. It isn't his property, and it damn well wasn't an original design! It amazes me how people come up with ways to get money and notoriety [sp?].

Just adding to what I said before, a good example to put this to would be like a hair stylist dying miley cyrus hair orange, and then someone in a movie having orange hair. People have it and do it.

You need to study up on intellectual property rights. It was copyrighted, that is that. "They" sue people, so once in a while "people" sue them. All part of the game.
