&gt; The court concluded in a ruling authored by Justice Sonia Sotomayor that the works made by Warhol did not have a sufficiently different commercial purpose from that of the original photo taken by Goldsmith: Both are used to illustrate magazine articles about Prince.<p>&gt; &quot;Because the artist had such a commercial purpose, all the creativity in the world could not save him,&quot; she wrote. The ruling will cramp artists and creativity, because any artwork that uses existing materials is in danger of violating copyright law, Kagan wrote.<p>What does this mean for AI generated images?
