S. Victor Whitmill, who gave the boxer his Maori-inspired facial ink, claimed it was illegally reproduced on the face of Ed Helms in The Hangover Part 2.The case threatened to block the film from being released later this week.

But today a judge dismissed the lawsuit, much to the relief of film bosses.'We are very gratified by the Court’s decision which will allow the highly anticipated film, The Hangover 2, to be released on schedule this week around the world,' the studio said in a statement.'Plaintiff’s failed attempt to enjoin H2 in order to try and extract a massive settlement payment from Warner Bros. was highly inappropriate and unwarranted.' Ink brothers: Ed Helms' character sports a tattoo in 'Hangover 2' that parodies that of co-star Mike Tyson Parody: Mike Tyson, a cast member in 'Hangover 2', poses alongside a poster for the film at the Los Angeles premiere May 19, 2011 Mr Tyson, who has a small role in the film, as he did in the 2009 original, was not named in the suit. Tattoo artist: S Victor Whitmill attempted to sue The Hangover 2 for copyright infringement In the feature, Helms reprises his character from the first Hangover, except this time he wakes up in a bathtub, only to discover that he has a 'real' tattoo inked over half of his face.

The ink job closely resembles the tattoo Tyson famously received in 2003. Since Mr Tyson even appears in the 'Hangover' films, the tattoo is a running gag.givenchy rottweiler hoodiesOn April 28, Mr Whitmill filed a motion in Federal District Court in St. Louis asking a judge to order Warner Brothers to stop using what he calls his 'tribal tattoo' in its posters or in the movie.  havok hoodieMr Whitmill was also seeking monetary damages for what he deemed 'reckless copyright infringement'.layla hoodie ebayMr Whitmill used to live in Las Vegasescort mk2 hoodies but currently lives in rural Missouri, where he co-runs a tattoo shopunder armour storm fz hoody

called Paradox Studio and Gallery, which is on historic Route 66 in Waynesville.According to The New York Times, the lawsuit stated: 'Mr Whitmill has never been asked for permission for,kansas city royals nike 1/4 zip pullover and has never consented to, the use, reproduction or creation of a derivative work based on his original tattoo'. Friday, Warner Brothers responded to Judge Catherine D. Perry in a brief, pointing out that delaying the film at this point would be hugely condemned Mr Whitmill's suit as a 'radical claim that he is entitled, under the Copyright Act, to control the use of a tattoo that he created on the face of another human being'. Brothers also argued that the film's use of the tattoo falls under 'fair use' because it parodies a very well known piece of our culture.

Courts have long upheld the right of artists and entertainers to mock a wide range of images and likenesses, although the rules of fair use are fluid and subject to interpretation.Various challenges to parodies have been launched over the years, with one notable case being the 1988 U.S. Supreme Court decision against Jerry Falwell, who had sued Hustler magazine for running a parody that alleged he committed absurd sexual acts.More recently, street artist Shepard Fairey has been embroiled in lawsuits with the AP over whether his iconic 'Hope' poster of Barack Obama constitutes fair use of a photo taken by the agency. Interestingly, Mr Tyson's tattoo itself is derivative, being based on traditional Maori facial tattoos from New Zealand.Although facial tattoos had fallen in decline there during centuries of white settlement, recent years have seen a small revival of the art. Several characters sported dramatic facial tattoos in the acclaimed 1994 film 'Once Were Warriors,' about contemporary Maori families.

For his part, Mr Whitmill's website says of his 2,000-square foot studio: 'The gallery doubles as a walk-in portfolio, featuring all original artwork by the artists who work at Paradox so the customer can see the talent and skill available to them in hopes it will gain the trust and confidence necessary to create the very best body art'.
