Last Thursday, Stanford’s Fair Use Project asked the Southern District of New York that they be allowed to withdraw from representing their client, Shepard Fairey. The motion identifies the lawyers who would take over the case as Jones Day partner Geoffrey Stewart, William Fisher III, director of the Berkman Center for Internet and Society at Harvard University, and John Palfrey, a professor and vice dean at Harvard Law School. The parties are due back in court this coming Thursday for a status conference.
