Google and Mr Brainwash in a Purple Haze over Hendrix and Coltrane images
Google has been accused of copyright infringement for using photographs of Jimi Hendrix and John Coltrane in advertising its Google Music service. The action has been brought in the United States District Court for the Central District of California by the estate of James “Jim” Marshall, a photographer renowned for his iconic photographs of popular musicians (not to be confused with the James “Jim” Marshall who founded Marshall Amplification – or, indeed, James “Jimi” Marshall Hendrix).
