Don’t think there is a copyright problem. You might make a case for plagiarism. There is an even stronger case for trademark infringement because of the logo: “The Beatles”.
On the other hand, there is not much chance of their being confusion between this mess and the Abbey Road cover.
Too bad they are not in the crosswalk!
This section need an edit function. It should read: On the other hand, there is not much chance of their causing confusion between this mess and the Abbey Road cover.
It’s got nothing to do with confusion. You’re thinking of trademark logos. This is a case of copyright, using the original image without permission, even if they’ve photoshopped it.
Bad photography and possible breaking of copyright laws aside, IF I was going to do a pastiche of one of the most recognized album covers ever, I would at least get my models to all pose together and to properly execute the walk.

Wow.. it’s like they were really there! Why actually go there when I can hire them to photoshop me into that world!

Thanks for doing Abbey Road a huge disservice, douche.
MDS
on a side note…isn’t that a copyright infringement right there? (the photo of the road/logo)

Hey now…you gotta wonder…with all the drugs they took, don’t you think this is closer to what they had in mind for the cover?
Jodi

Wow, you;d think he would have learned how to use content-aware on his hacked copy of CS6 to properly remove the Beatles from the shot.. 🙂

HAHAHAH, I just noticed that you can actually see where the Beatles where standing, the blured sections clearly show their body shape!!!!
