Photographer Sues ‘Fela!’ for Copyright Infringement
Trying to catch up. From last week.
A Brooklyn photographer is suing producers of “Fela!,” alleging that the Broadway musical used a photograph she took of Afrobeat legend Fela Anikulapo-Kuti’s famed Shrine without her permission. The lawsuit, filed in federal court in Manhattan on Monday, seeks at least $150,000 in damages for copyright infringement.
