Via USA Today: Seuss lawyers stop holiday Who-ville in Louisville:
"There will be no Who-ville in Louisville this Christmas.
The city of Louisville is scrapping plans to use the iconic Dr. Seuss village and characters as part of its annual Christmas display after receiving a cease and desist letter from Dr. Seuss Enterprises.
"It appears these lawyers' hearts are two sizes too small," Louisville Mayor Jerry Abramson said...
But the cease-and-desist letter from the law firm DLA Piper, which represents Dr. Seuss Enterprises, said the "Who-ville" name and image, as well as the Grinch, are copyrighted and cannot be used without permission."
