and now we have a controversy involving Erica Simone, the Bare NY Citizen, and Zappos Shoe Co. The latter, it seemed, embarked on an unusual ad campaign in which naked new yorkers were photographed jogging through the streets of Manhattan. Here are some pics, censored:

Erica Simone claimed that Zappos ripped off her work. She even took them to court. Now I haven't seen enough pics from these two sources to be able to say there is a similarity great enough to warrant copyright infringement, but apparently, the judges did not rule in Emile's favor.
