Artists Rights Society Asks Google to Remove Logo

An interesting copyright issue for Google, this time not involving the scanning of library books: "The Artists Rights Society, a group that represents more than 40,000 visual artists and their estates, demanded Google remove a logo honoring Spanish surrealist painter Joan Miro, after a Miro family member logged onto Google's home page and discovered a logo that incorporated images used in multiple copyrighted works. 'It's a distortion of the original works and in that respect it violates the moral rights of the artist,' said Theodore Feder, president of Artists Rights Society."
