U of A Demands Democrats Stop Using Hog Image In Campaign [View all]

http://5newsonline.com/2012/10/30/u-of-a-demands-democrats-stop-using-hog-image-in-campaign/

The University of Arkansas this month asked the Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee to stop using a Razorback image in political advertising.

The Washington, D.C.-based Democratic committee recently used a Hog image in campaign literature criticizing Rep. Charlie Collins, R-Fayetteville. Collins, a first-term legislator, is vying for the state House District 84 seat against Adella Gray, a Fayetteville Democrat.
One mail piece, shown in the photograph accompanying this story, asserts that Collins has not been supportive of the university in his initial two-year House term.

The cease-and-desist letter was sent Oct. 22 on the university’s behalf by Harold J. Evans, a lawyer with Williams & Anderson, a Little Rock law firm.

The one on the campaign piece sure doesn't look like the copyrighted one to me.
