Bill Leak May Use But Not Sell Tintin



According to a new wave of articles, editorial cartoonist for The Australian Bill Leak may continue to use Tintin imagery to depict the prominent politician Kevin Rudd. He just can't commercialize the image by selling those cartoons through his web site. Leak's use of the image in his depiction of the opposition leader had been in some dispute, when the rights holder to the serial-album cartoon icon had publicly objected and sent a letter asking for a percentage of monies earned through sale of the cartoons. I can't really tell from the article whether this is an offer by the Tintin people or an agreement already accepted by both parties.
