This is a story about two works of art designed to appeal to the dolphin lover that lives within each of us.  The plaintiff's (on the left in the accompanying image below) is in pen and ink; the defendant's (on the right) is a full-color painting.  Each depicts two dolphins in an open sea, with one swimming (more or less) vertically, and the other (more or less) horizontally, nestling past each other with apparent fishy affection. (Yes, I know dolphins are mammals, but "fishy" sounds better.)  Are they lovers? Siblings?  Friends? The artists leave that to our imagination.  (Please forgive the poor image quality. These are taken from the complaint.  You can see the defendant's work in full color here.)
