"If there is a bedrock principle of the first amendment, it is that the government may not prohibit the expression of an idea simply because society finds the idea itself offensive or disagreeable." - Justice William J. Brennan, 1906-1977 U.S. Supreme Court Justice, Source, Texas vs. Johnson, 1989. "A copyright is an intangible right given to the author, artist, and/or originator of certain literary or artistic productions. Any references made to scenes requested and painted as a tribute to actors and fans of movies are intended to be depicted in Michael Bell's own original artistic style.
