Batman was accused of copyright infringement for making 3D reproductions of a sculpture and filming it without permission. The sculpture, called Zanja Madre or Mother of Ditch, depicts a water vampire sucking life from the surrounding desert. While Batman did copy the sculpture, the author argues it shouldn't matter unless the sculpture played a major role in the movie. The document provides information on copyright, what constitutes infringement, and penalties for being caught copying someone else's work without attribution.
