The Supreme Court vs. Andy Warhol

A few days ago, the Supreme Court tried to answer a question that has long bedeviled the world of art: When is borrowing from an earlier artist an act of inspiration, and when is it theft?  Adam Liptak, who covers the court for The Times, explains a case that could change how art is made. Guest: Adam Liptak (https://www.nytimes.com/by/adam-liptak) , who covers the United States Supreme Court for The New York Times.
