Cartoonist Saul Steinberg, creator of a New Yorker magazine cover depicting Manhattan dominating the rest of the United States, Wednesday won a federal copyright lawsuit against Columbia Pictures over a poster for the Columbia film “Moscow on the Hudson.” Steinberg had filed suit in 1984 in U.S. District Court in Manhattan complaining that a poster for the movie infringed on his copyright. Judge Louis Stanton ruled in favor of Steinberg and set Sept. 11 for hearings to determine the damages.
