This Photo Was Reportedly The Subject of a DMCA Notice

By Marty Schwimmer on October 6, 2009

A website named Photoshop Disasters reproduced a Ralph Lauren magazine ad. Boing Boing ran the photo. Ralph Lauren’s attorneys sent a DMCA notice. Boing Boing reported on the letter and ran the photo again, and Chilling Effects reproduced the DMCA letter as well.
Maybe the model is really skinny, maybe it’s the angle, maybe it’s photoshopped. Also, the photo is of the magazine page itself, which seems to be curved toward the viewer, which may make her look thinner.
p.s. Boing Boing’s ISP is apparently in Canada.
