TorrentFreak has a fascinating article about how Louis Vuitton is suing a 26 year old artist for copyright infringement because she is selling t-shirts and posters depicting a Darfur victim dressed as a Paris Hilton lookalike, complete with Louis Vuitton inspired handbag.  Louis Vuitton is asking for as much as $20,000 per day in damages until the student ceases selling her wares.

The Paris based fashion house Louis Vuitton has filed charges against a 26 year old student artist for selling posters and t-shirts of a Darfur victim, holding a designer bag inspired by a Louis Vuitton design. All of the profits had been going to charity but Louis Vuitton is still demanding massive damages.
