There follows some additional context for those who aren't familiar with the legal issues Shepard Fairey was forced to address in relation to André the Giant.
This question and answer below are extracted from an interview with Fairey by Chris Nieratko for International Tattoo magazine (March 1999 issue):
CN: One question I’ve had since I first saw your stuff is how is it you have access to Andre’s image?
SF: I don’t. I stole it. I finally got a notification from his estate that I couldn’t use the phrase “Andre the Giant” in any images or use his face in anything. The thing is, and this is why I had to shut my Web site down and change the name from www.andrethegiant.com to www.obeygiant.com., because the WWF owns the name obey giant (sic – presumably this should read "Andre the Giant"). It took them nine years to figure it out. My Web site seemed like such an official obey giant website (sic – presumably this should read "Andre the Giant website") because of the name that people kept hitting it up. I don’t even know how I got that domain name. You’d think it would have been taken. A lot of wrestling fans were hitting the site, and eventually somebody pointed it out to the WWF people. But in the more recent images that I’ve done, the face has changed enough from the original likeness to not be copyright infringement. So what I’m gonna do is still make the original sticker, just not sell them or put that name on any clothing that I could get a lawsuit for. As far as the fine art domain, it’s totally open. Warhol didn’t get sued for using Marilyn Monroe’s likeness, as long it was changed enough. I just can’t sell products with the name obey giant, so now it’s all gonna just say Giant.
