Agreed, it's stupid to even put that out there. Jake is a graphic artist, the cover of Jane Doe is a piece that melds both graphic and fine art elements. It's also f*cking phenomenal, period.
Using the image of -even something copyrighted- as an artistic basis or inspiration is not illegal, nor should it be considered stealing.
Andy Warhol didn't owe Campbells Soup anything.
Jake was gracious enough when this woman popped up decades later, but truth be told? She was a generic, editorial model who did an anonymous shoot for Marie Claire in years that models weren't even credited by name. Reproduction of her face, outside of her control or ability to earn money from was her stock and trade. Not sure wtf she expected.
Hate on Jake all you want, but at least know wtf you're talking about while doing it.
