Copyright Case Study 2

 Universal Studios vs Lebbeus Woods

This scene from the movies 12 Monkeys (1995) on the left is basically a direct copy of this drawing on the right by Lebbeus Woods (1987).

Every aspect of the scene is the same as it was drawn by Lebbeus Wood, all without the artists permission, in breach of copyright? I think so.

From the shape and design of the chair to the layout and texture of the walls and the positioning and design of the hanging sphere, from the scene to the original the similarities stare you blatantly in the face.

One of the worst copyright and most obvious copyright breaches no surprise Universal Studios lost this one.
