Alberto Korda did not object to the use of the photograph except in the promotion of alocohol or anything that insulted Guevara's memory. His family are the ones filing suits left and right.

Jim Fitzpatrick also did not attempt to suppress free use of the image until last year when he apparently changed his mind and decided he would copyright it. Not sure if that's actually gone through.

People have been earning money on something he never got a cent for.

Firstly: he died in 2001.

Secondly: I don't think that's why he had a problem with it.

The Cuban photographer was in the headlines last year when he won an out-of-court settlement and was paid about $50,000 from a British ad agency to settle a dispute over the use of his famed picture of Guevara in a Smirnoff vodka campaign. Korda, who lived in Havana, gave the money for children's medicines. "If Che was still alive, he would have done the same,'' Korda told Reuters then. Korda never objected to mass use of his photo as a protest symbol, but in recent years he began to fight its commercial reproduction in ways he said "dishonored'' his subject.

Source.

Sounds more like he didn't like it being used in stupid ads. He turned around and donated all money received from that. Apparently, the photo is in the public domain, so they really didn't have to pay anything if they didn't want to. There's a reason why the "out of court settlement" told exactly how much they paid. A lot of times, you settle out of court so you don't have to say how much money changed hands.

Che fought against capitalism. To use his picture for profit pure irony, so the photographer was against it

[–]Dystopeuh 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Yeah, but for him the suing wasn't about making money, it was about the principle of the thing. From my little research of the photographer, he didn't care about the money.

What I'm responding to is the statement that he started suing because, "People have been earning money on something he never got a cent for." I don't think that could be farther from the truth. It's not because they're earning money on something he never got paid for, he doesn't care about that. It's that people are profiting off of the image of a man who would not have approved of what they're using it for (which is exactly what you said, of course :) )

Do you even know who that man is? He is a murderer! El Che is responsible for thousands of innocent deaths AND for communism in Cuba. Screw La Revolucion! VIVA CUBA LIBRE!

[–]underattack86 5 points6 points ago

Hated homosexuals, artists and liberals, helped install a totalitarian communist dictator, ran a propaganda department and operated a death camp where he, by his own confession, took great pleasure in executing political prisoners. Died a coward's death.

Glorified by artists and liberals everywhere as a great revolutionary hero.

[–]persistent_illusion 5 points6 points ago

I have a suspicion the backlash again Guevara is anger more directed at the kind of people that don t-shirts with his likeness than the man himself. I think most of the things you are claiming about him are false or highly exaggerated. For instance Che only ran La Cabana prison for 5 months immediately following the revolution, during which time the prison was populated mostly with members of the Batista government and some sympathizers.

The internet has become full of claims both of Guevara's wickedness and sainthood and generally both backed up by his own journal writings. Which is why I generally do not trust any source claiming to be from a Guevara journal or witness journal, and I think the only remotely objective historical treatment you can find of the man is in the history of the Cuban revolution.

Said history paints a picture of a man who was idealistic, passionate, and reckless. Who fought for his principles and for a particular ethical outlook that he believed in whether others agreed or not. If you get past the ignorant t-shirt wearers and look for perhaps the more intellectual admirers of Che that is the focus I think you will find. People who admire someone who was born into but gave up privilege, looked at the state of the world and said this will not do, and then fought and ultimately died to rebuild the world as what he firmly saw as a better place.

This is not to deny that Che committed ethically questionable acts, not at all. But I contest that you would find his acts no more reprehensible than any US president. A very telling and yet still troubling realistic of historical politics is this: If you are going to admire any politician, admiring only those who have never killed anyone limits you to about zero.

Sure, but that's like saying you'd rather have hepatitis than full-blown AIDS. Neither is good, or deserving of being glorified like Ernesto is.

People who admire someone who was born into but gave up privilege, looked at the state of the world and said this will not do, and then fought and ultimately died to rebuild the world as what he firmly saw as a better place.

But when the world he saw was a world without borgeoise pleasures like art and intellectualism, a world where him and his cronies could kill anyone for any reason (including just being gay), a world of prison camps and brainwashing propaganda, I don't care how much he sacrificed for that goal: it's still an evil goal. He was a psychopathic killer and the 'useful idiots' who parade his image around are unwittingly doing a disservice to the victims of Cuban communism. I should know, I was one of them.

[–][deleted] -2 points-1 points ago

I still look at Che as a hero based on the one point that ethically questionable actions are unavoidable in civil war. It's a fight to the death regarding ideologies, and more than in any other war the hatred is deep rooted. Bad things happen in war, and I refuse to completely discredit everything else because of the undeniable reality of armed conflict.

[–]parttimehuman -1 points0 points ago

If you think you can compare the US to a dictatorship then you've clearly never experienced totalitarianism. Che's legacy is a fucking disgrace to humanity. Next time you've got a "first world problem" stop and wonder what it would be like for the police to come to your door and ask you why you didn't attend the pro-government rally yesterday. "Are you not loyal to the revolution, comrade? We didn't see you." You better have a good excuse. You need better heros. There are more choices than just unregulated capitalism or the state owning everything including your ass.

You're just a pussy bitch, the type who complains about everything everyone does but does nothing himself. Che was a doer, and for every doer there is a bitch like you behind a keyboard

Man, I can't believe civilians died and political dissidents were murdered in a civil war.

No, seriously, I could never have predicted that happening. It's really amazing that he fought for communism and then they had communism when they won. It's almost like they didn't like the way the previous dictatorship backed by foreign powers distributed wealth.

No, really blows my mind. No sarcasm here. None at all
