    …didn’t Jim Fitzpatrick give the rights to the Guevara family in Cuba…you can still die for the revolution.

    “800 Puffs” … It’s the Erasure reunion concert of smoking cessation devices. And I mean that tongue firmly in cheek, in a respectful, I love everyone the same, I’m just making a joke way. Some of my best friends used to smoke.

    The photograph was taken by a Cuban called Alberto Korda

    “Korda did not want commercialization of the image in relation to products he believed Guevara would not support, especially alcohol. This belief was displayed for the first time in 2000, when in response to Smirnoff using Che’s picture in a vodka commercial, Korda claimed his moral rights (a form of copyright law) and sued advertising agency Lowe Lintas and Rex Features, the company that supplied the photograph.[19] Lintas and Rex claimed that the image was in the public domain. The final result was an out of court settlement for USD $50,000 to Korda,[20] which he donated to the Cuban healthcare system, stating “if Che was still alive, he would have done the same.”[21]”
