We were worried Portishead would take legal action, but now that The Weeknd and Universal have pushed forward with this cover that is clearly "Inspired" by Portishead's Dummy artwork, either they worked something out, or Universal will just release it without permission.
Although there is a strong resemblance to Portishead's cover, The Weeknd's Kiss Land cover also has another resemblance to something else, his first three mixtapes that he released.
Geoff hasn't been on twitter since the release of the cover, so we have yet to hear back, stay posted...
