This page had links to eight images from Dr. Seu** books; images I had found online and warmed the cockles of my heart with fond childhood memories. Today (2010 Sepotember 13) I received an UPS next-day delivery letter from DLA Piper, the global-mega-law firm (``3,500 lawyers in 30 countries'') that represents Dr. Seu** Enterprises, telling me that the images I had on my website of some Dr. Seu** characters was copyright infringement. My favorite line: that my use of these images ``creates a false impression of sponsorship, affiliation or endorsement by Seu**'' Yup, I can understand how people would confuse me with that other ``Doctor''.

Of course, they are technically legally correct, and so I removed the handful of Seu** images I had on that page. Thankfully, people will no longer be confused or led astray to somehow associate astronomy with enjoyable childhood memories, imagination, and reading skills. I'm just glad that there were no lawyers in the audience back when I was in grad school and gave a talk called: "One Star, Two Star, Red Star, Blue Star". I would have been appropriately slapped in irons and led to a prison in a goofily-shaped, wildly-colored building guarded by vaguely anthropomorphic dog-like creatures who speak in rhyming anapestic tetrameter. (I wonder if poetic meters are copyrighted?)

Exercise for the student: Could one sue Dr. Seu** Enterprises claiming that their use of 'Dr.' is copyright infringement of my and others' Doctorates or false advertising because Seu** never completed his graduate work so he never received a Ph.D.?
