Apple Faces Copyright Suit Over iPhone Photo
In a lawsuit filed Thursday with the federal court in Manhattan, widely published photographer Louis Psihoyos contends that Apple is using his “1000 TVs” image in its “i.TV” movie guide application for the iPhone.
The plaintiff accused the Cupertino, California-based company of copyright infringement of his image, which was created in 2005.
He is seeking actual damages and other remedies that together are “reasonably believed” to exceed $2 million, according to the complaint.
Apple spokeswoman Kristin Huguet did not immediately return a call seeking comment.
