Some
info related to Gray Cary Litigators and the Steen painting
August 4, 2001- I
emailed Cathy Anne Bencivengo and every laywer at
the Gray Cary with an attachment of my Seuss parody painting entitled
BEHIND THE SCENES OF DAISY-HEAD MAYZIE. This painting
depicted
Mayzie McGrew in the act of fornication with the Cat in the Hat and
fellatio with the Grinch. I used the ruling from their own lawsuit to
ridicule their client: Dr Seuss Entereprises. The Painting: BEHIND
THE SCENES OF DAISY-HEAD MAYZIE, was listed on the list of items
to be seized by the San Diego Police Dept. on Nov 5, 2003.
This artwork was
created as a result of having reviewed a lawsuit
between DSE and Penguin Books USA in November of 1997. Cathy Ann
Bencivengo was the attorney that obtained an injunction prohibiting
distribution of a book infringing Cat In The Hat copyright and
trademark. Penguin had published a parody book written by the ficional
Dr Juice, that depicted O.J. Simpson wearing the Cat In The
Hats
distinctive red and white striped stove-pipe hat, holding a bloody
glove.
The court held that
because the book ridiculed Simpson and the murder
case, rather than the original work or its author, it is not a true
parody eligible for the fair use defense.
The fair use
doctrine allows an artist to make a parody of an author
or work, allowing it to be protected from copyright infringement.

The Institute of
Children's Literature
'The Pains of Being Pure at Heart' was a story submitted
by Charles Agustus Steen to the Institute of Children's Literature.
'The Pains of Being Pure at Heart' was stolen and made into Daisy-Head
Mayzie by Janet Schulman who is head of Children's Literature for Random
House.
The Institute
of Children's Literature states:
"The Institute of Childrens Literature takes your privacy and
security very seriously. We are also very aware of the threats to your
privacy and security on the Internet. We appreciate and value your confidence
in us and we will work steadfastly to maintain your trust by always providing

'Gray Cary's litigators are masters at identifying and exploiting weaknesses'
Gray
Cary Law is not about justice, it's about fucking people up, hurting folks
and protecting those who can get all the justice that can be bought.
"Finding
your opponents Achilles heel
wih Complex Litigation, We find the weakness."
"We
find the weakness. Finding your opponents Achilles heel is
the key to successful litigation. Gray Carys litigators are masters
at identifying and exploiting weaknesses thanks to extensive trial
experience, the application of leading-edge technology and the relentless
pursuit of our clients best interests. Regardless of whether you
are facing complex IP, antitrust, product liability, consumer class action,
white-collar criminal defense or securities litigation, Gray Cary has
the unique strengths necessary to hit your competition where it hurts."
Gray
Cary: Complaint
It's
expensive, hard work finding the weakness in The Pains of Being
Pure at Heart. Gray Cary, Advocates for the Devil if he could only be
found, are left to their own devices to divine Intellectual Property and
implement the exploitation of weakness.
Audrey Giesel
She volunteers this information to avoid the rap that shes exploiting
Seuss and explains that by creating trademarks in various media, shes
protecting her husbands creations. Yet some of (Audrey) Geisels
decisions, notably to publish some material that her notoriously perfectionist
husband left unpublished, are difficult even for her to explain.

A
little Bio on Audrey Geisel
Audrey Geisel
Formerly married to cardiologist Grey Dimond with two daughters Lea and
Lark. Audrey and Grey were friends with Ted and Helen Geisel in La
Jolla, California. Despite the fact that Ted was 18 years her senior,
Ted Geisel and Audrey Dimond had an illicit affair which contributed
along with her failing health, to the suicide of Ted Geisel's wife
Helen on October 23, 1967. In less than one year, Ted and Audrey were
married on June 21, 1968. Ironically, Ted Geisel, the greatest
children's writer, didn't care much for living with kids and so
Audrey's two daughters were sent away to school at ages 9 and 14.
Currently Audrey Geisel is CEO of Dr Seuss Enterprises at age 82. In
1992, while remodeling her La Jolla home, Audrey Geisel claimed to have
found the lost manuscript of an unpublished work in the bottom of a
drawer. That manuscript became the book "Daisy-Head Mayzie."
Certified a New York Times Hardcover Bestseller in 1995, the book went
on to sell millions of copies worldwide and was also made into a
feature length animated film in conjunction with Hanna Barbara. The
book Daisy-head Mayzie was registered at the US Copyright office in 1994.

Review: Daisy-Head
mayzie
Reviewed by J.N.E.
Being the long time Dr. Seuss fan that I am, I was in great
anticipation of reading the ``lost work'' of Mr. Geisel. When I did
finally get the book in hand I dove into it as quickly as I could, not
knowing what to expect from the title, but that is usual for a Seuss
book. Having completed the book, I knew immediately that it never should
have been published. At least not this way. Not as a childrens book. Not
being called the ``lost work'' as I had seen.
You see Ted Geisel was a perfectionist, and many times in his
life he would start a project and get a rough draft done, and then
(knowing that it was not finished) put it away for later work. Kind of
like stepping back and letting the dust settle, then seeing whats there,
and what needs to be done. I feel that is where this book was. Not finished.
There are too many awkward lines, and Mr. Geisel would quite literally
spend hours, struggling over just one line, much less let a book full
of the get published.
Yes the idea of the story is very Seussian, and flows just like
many of his books, but you can feel that it is not the same as the rest.
What I feel they should have done with this lost manuscript is
compiled it with all the other unfinished works, and poems, and misc.
tidbits, into one larger book, and published all of it that way. It would
have been like a gift to all of us loyal fans, and would be telling us,
that Mr. Geisel was not finished with these, but here is what he had worked
on. Instead I feel some corporate stiff, saw a method to make a buck,
finished the script, how they wanted it done, added art work, and slapped
the name ``Dr. Seuss'' on it. I just hope this is the last book done this
way.
The Public
Good vs The Public Goods
The might of legal
maneurering does not change authenticity, it skews the ground on which
all creativity is based. Rewards to the greedy, the powerful, the corrupt
must be recognized; free enterprise, invisible hand marketing, public
relations and insider deals are the foundation of our economic system,
a system that can not change without changing the paradigmatic base of
our society. Its structure is formed to reward those with hubris and punish
the creative.
Vexing our neurons,
this activity is maneuvering that questions our motive for being alive.
Choice is what we crave well What cost for Kiddy
Litter priceless.
Stanley Goldburg

The Zobell Prize is awarded by its founder each year for
flagrant theft of children's literature. To be recognized for the
"Zobell" one must not only steal intellectual property but
take it to press and receive undeserved economic gain. The more one
obfuscates and lies as to the origin of the work, the better the chances
one has of getting into the finals. Final decisions are made on content
and brazen disregard for originality, however chances are improved
by the use of bribery and extortion. |
