Pro photographer Aaron Babcock took a picture of Bill Murray at a Nebraska/Purdue football game in 2018, and published it to his Twitter feed. Gannett publishing reposted the picture to four of its website without permission from Babcock, and the photographer has sued for copyright infringement. Gannett argues that Twitter's TOS allow it to republish images without permission or compensation. A judge has denied Gannett's efforts to have the suit dismissed, and the case may have wide-ranging implications, particularly for sports photographers.
