There's literally not as single common thing these images share. Afaik noone has monopoly on orange filter
One could argue it's an uncreative derivative work not subject to a fair use exemption, and actively used in commerce to make money for Musk, while simultaneously it damages the Blade Runner brand if, as claimed, other car companies assume Tesla and BR have a relationship, or the BR brand is inextricably linked to Tesla and Musk. The fact that Tesla and WBD hurriedly sought a copyright clearance, once Tesla realized WBD didn't have all the necessary rights, doesn't speak well for Tesla's position, nor does the fact that Musk referenced Blade Runner at least twice in his presentation.
While specifically refering to the image
Yeah, I don’t think this goes to trial and rewrites the lawbooks or anything, but there’s enough here to litigate, and I reckon Tesla will settle to avoid going to discovery.
