Shepard Farley Pleads Guilty

Wow.
Just.
Wow.
So what if the guy used a picture of the president, wouldn't that be considered public domain?
I could understand the outrage if he maybe used the image to negatively impact President Obama's name, but he didn't.
He instead went on to create one of the most iconic images in the last ten years, the 'Hope' Poster.
If anything, this HELPED Obama's social image, relaying that he was a man that had high hopes for the country and its people.
Farley seems to have a record of breaking rules and the like, trespassing, vandalizing walls, but he still values other artist's work...
I don't think that ruling was fair...5,000 dollars for a photo, really?
I bet if it was of anybody else, nobody would've batted an eye.
But because it's the president, I guess that makes him a super special person who nobody can use an image of.
People are stupid.
Farley is also stupid for trying to lie and cover his tracks with false documents and such.
Both parties are equally stupid.
