This lawsuit raises pertinent questions regarding corporate power and its interaction with cultural critiques.

The hearing, anticipated this month, has ignited fears among advocates that the outcome could deter artists from engaging with corporate entities critically. As this case unfolds, the fishing industry and art and design sectors will be watching closely.
