Hah! Told y'all he was going down for this.

AP sends cease-and-desist to George Zimmerman over painting - POLITICO.com

The Associated Press sent George Zimmerman a cease-and-desist letter on Thursday for a painting he created based on an AP photo of Florida State Attorney Angela Corey, the AP said in a statement.

Zimmerman's now former lawyer notified the AP she no longer represents him but said she will deliver the letter, AP spokesperson Paul Colford told us in an email on Friday.

"George Zimmerman clearly directly copied an AP photo to create his painting of Florida State Attorney Angela Corey," Colford said. "The AP has sent a cease-and-desist letter asserting its copyright in the photo to the lawyer who recently represented Mr. Zimmerman. That lawyer has responded, and though she no longer represents Mr. Zimmerman, she will be forwarding the letter to him today."

The photo was taken in 2012 during a press conference, when Corey announced Zimmerman would face a second-degree murder charge for the death of Trayvon Martin. Zimmerman was eventually acquitted. Zimmerman's brother Robert tweeted a photo of the painting on Wednesday, announcing that it would be for sale.

The photographer, Rick Wilson, has retained a lawyer and told the Orlando Sentinel that Zimmerman can expect legal action in conjunction with the AP if he continues to use the image.

In 2012, the artist Shepard Fairey was found guilty of trying to conceal the fact he had used an AP photo of President Barack Obama to make his famous "Hope" poster.

Lock him up...that's all it takes. He'll be dead within six months.

w00t! Justice for Trayvon!

Wow there are some really REALLY small people here.

I hope he moves and becomes your neighbor, then you can piss your pants daily! Get over zimmerman, he was found innocent.

So was OJ.

The difference being, OJ's defense was "I didn't do it. Someone else did it." and Zimmerman's defense was "I definitely did it. I had a right to do it."

Just another predicable LIB lie. The AP sent George a fucking letter. That's all.
George wasn't "slapped" with fuck all!
A some people wonder why LIBs have such a bad reputation for blatantly lying.
AP is full of radical LIBs who convicted George months before the trial ended.
How hilarious and ironic that now if it looks like George might make some money selling something the AP is first in line demanding their cut. Talk about pure hypocrisy at it's finest.

Do you know the meaning of Cease and Desist... or what comes next?

I know that George was not "slapped" with a 'Cease and Desist' ORDER!!!!!!!!!!! as the LIB fuck-witt who started the thread claimed. You apparently do not.

The AP sent George a fucking letter warning him to "Cease and Desist'. BIG FUCKING DEAL! What makes you think you "know what comes next"? Still using the 'crystal ball' you used to predict George's future? You know. The one that showed you how George's "cheap gun" recoiled and that's how he got his broken nose.

For someone who's "flown across the Atlantic dozens of times" you're pretty dumb. But you are a first class BSer. I'll grant you that.

I have actually flown across the Atlantic more than 50 times... and that is not unusual for any oil brat. You simply have limited experience and perspective.

George is far too stupid to comprehend copyright violation.. just as he was too stupid to speak and diffuse the situation he created with Trayvon.

I happen to be conservative.. but do note that conservatives won't give George a job either.
