"Charging Bull" Artist Charges Copyright Infringement

Sometimes even the veterans make biiiig mistakes, such as Random House's use of a (reportedly) unlicensed picture of the signature mascot of Wall Street and the entire New York financial district. According to Galleycat, mediabistro.com's weekly newsletter, the Wall Street Journal reported yesterday Arturo Di Modica, the artist who created the famed "Charging Bull" sculpture has sued Bertelsmann AG's Random House Inc. for alleged unauthorized use of its image on the front of their recently published best-selling book, "A Colossal Failure of Common Sense: The Inside Story of the Collapse of Lehman Brothers", authored by Lawrence G. McDonald. Galleycat went on to quote David Drake, a spokesperson for Random House, who refused a detailed comment, saying only that the company does not discuss current litigation. For more information, you can check out the full story in the Wall Street Journal.
