The Mark Billy piece is less than awe-inspiring: http://twitpic.com/4foszx. It also indicates that his role reversal (he wanted to be Cariou but realizes that he's Prince) is a little less than sincere.
This is supported by the fact that he seems to be friends with Joy Garnett. Who wrote an article that's about as bad as those youtube educational videos (I agree, those are not helping anybody): http://www.artnet.com/magazineus/news/garnett/cariou-v-prince-the-copyright-bungle-3-31-11.asp
The Cat Weaver image is much more interesting, but also obviously generated for producing criticism...I doubt she's going to be contacting you any time for a license. Should an artist (say, who is actually represented by a major gallery) choose to follow her lead I think they'd hear from Prince's and Gagosian's attorney fairly quickly.
