Looks like Ms. Leibovitz can't get a break these days. Another photographer is out for her scalp this time, claiming she swiped his pics and claimed they were hers.

I believe you mean Richard Prince, who himself got iin hot water for appropriating other photographers' images in his own work. Fun, eh?

Well, given that her own D-day is today, this recent dust-up probably isn't the first thing on her mind.

I have complete faith that our (US) government will straighten this out.
