An exclusive report by CBS4 News indicates embattled University of Colorado professor Ward Churchill may have broken copyright law by making a mirror image of an artist's work and selling it as his own.More hilarity and the pictures by following the link.
Placing Churchill's work beside that of renown artist Thomas E. Mails and the two look like mirror images. But one is a copyrighted drawing. The other is an autographed print by Churchil.
When CBS4 News tried to talk to Churchill about a possible copyright infringement, we received an angry response.
