...one good Copyright Infringment deserves another

Just a week after winning a lawsuit against Britney Spears, Louis Vuitton bosses apologized to artist Anthon Beeke for using his "Naked Ladies Alphabet" without his permission.

The naked ladies were bent into the shape of the fashion house's name by artist Vanessa Beecroft and the design then displayed on the 4,300-square-foot space on top of the Champs-Elysées store in Paris. Both Beecroft and Louis Vuitton have apologized to the Dutch graphic designer and will cease to use any images that may infringe on the artist's copyright.

The French fashion house won a $117,000 cash settlement and the rights to have a Britney Spears ‘Do Somethin’ video banned from future use after it was agreed, last week, it infringed copyright by featuring the label's trademark print.
