Copyright threat issued over gorilla dressed as Freddy Mercury

A sculpture depicting a gorilla wearing a Freddy Mercury-style jacket was removed from Norwich City Center following a legal threat from the Mercury Phoenix Trust. The trust claims copyright on the outfit’s design, so the company in charge of Norwich’s gorilla statue program is repainting it: “That’s being sorted. To save any bother we will change it.” [Daily Mail]
