Samuel Bourdin, the son of fashion photographer Guy Bourdin, has sued Madonna, claiming that sets for the video to her song "Hollywood" copied his late father's images.
The lawsuit, filed Friday in U.S. District Court in Manhattan, accuses Madonna of copyright infringement for her imitation of poses and images in at least 11 works of Bourdin, whose photos were published in French Vogue from the mid-1950s through the late 1980s.
GuyBourdain.org has stills from the video for "Hollywood" next to images from stills from Bourdin's work: Madonna Copy & Paste Guy Bourdin.
