A cultural history of the Grateful Dead illustrated with copyrighted posters commissioned by a legendary concert promoter is protected by the fair use doctrine, the 2nd Circuit has ruled. Seven images of concert posters were displayed in "significantly reduced form" in "Grateful Dead: The Illustrated Trip." The ruling was made despite the fact that Dorling Kindersley sought permission from the Bill Graham Archives to use the posters but published them anyway when permission was refused.

A cultural history of the Grateful Dead illustrated with copyrighted posters commissioned by a legendary concert promoter is protected by the fair use doctrine, a federal appeals court has ruled.
The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in Bill Graham Archives v. Dorling Kindersley Limited, 05-2514, that the use of seven images of concert posters that were displayed in “significantly reduced form” in a 480-page coffee table book about the band did not constitute copyright infringement.
