Andy Baio produced an 8-bit tribute to Miles Davis' Kind of Blue album called Kind of Bloop.. The album cover he created for the project was an 8-bit representation of the original cover. What followed was a nightmarish series of events that resulted in Andy paying over $32,000 in settlement money to Jay Maisel, the original photographer of the album cover. You can read the first hand account by Andy here.
You can also see some of the backlash that Jay is taking on his Facebook page.
