Skittles Photographer Sues Trump
- TorrentFreak, Wednesday, October 19, 2016 4:17 PM
Photographer David Kittos has sued presidential candidate Donald Trump, his son, vice-presidential candidate Michael Pence and others over an ad posted to Twitter. The ad allegedly included Kittos's copyrighted photograph of a bowl of Skittles. The caption compared refugees from Syria to candy. "If I had a bowl of skittles and told you just three would kill you. Would you take a handful? That's our Syrian refugee problem," the caption reads. Twitter removed the Skittles photo, but not the caption, last month after Kittos alleged in a takedown notice that the campaign's use of the photo infringed his copyright.
