A Swiss photographer has filed suit against Apple in a US District Court in New York, alleging that Cupertino's marketeers used one of her photos without her permission in its MacBook Pro with Retina Display flack attack.

"Despite representing that it did not intend to use the photo and knowing that it had not obtained a license," the lawsuit, filed this Wednesday, claims, "Apple proceeded to copy, publish, and exploit Plaintiff's 'Eye Closeup' photograph, including in its MacBook Pro advertising campaign, keynote address, and related advertising materials without permission or compensation."


Do Apple think that IP laws only apply to those that they are suing?

Most likely a [LIFTED] up by their ad agency. Using unlicensed imagery on purpose is just not how the industry works.

I am sure Apple will pay out. Marketing people will see an image and use it without regard to copyright. This also has raised the profile of the photographer.
