[T]he guys applying for the sidewalk cafe for a non-existent business were hilarious. Having a business license and applying for a liquor license under different names, NOT actually having a business, and then being surprised when they wouldn't give them a sidewalk license. Hilarious. Best was when the "personal representative" of Buon Gusto's owner (hey nice ascot by the way!) said he missed his son's chorus concert to be there, so he was rightfully indignant that CB3 wouldn't hear him out.
A Philadelphia native, Lumet moved to New York City as a child, and it became the location of choice for more than 30 of his films. Although he freely admitted to a lifelong love affair with the city, he often showed its grittier side.
Such dramas as "Prince of the City," "Q&A," "Night Falls on Manhattan" and "Serpico" looked at the hard lives and corruptibility of New York police officers. "Dog Day Afternoon" told the true-life story of two social misfits who set in motion a chain of disastrous events when they tried to rob a New York City bank on an oppressively hot summer afternoon.
Earlier this week, she received a letter from an intern who works for the MTA's marketing and advertising division requesting she stop selling the cards and remove any MTA-branded items from Etsy.com, an online marketplace. Alternatively, the intern said the artist could pay the authority for a license to utilize the MTA's brand in her artwork.
The MTA uses unpaid interns to search online for trademark infringement "when they have the time," says Aaron Donovan, a spokesman for the MTA.
Through close to 120 licensees, the MTA generates about $500,000 a year in revenue, or about what it expected to save from cutting one express-bus line during a round of service cuts last year. Typically, artists enter into licensing deals with the authority, giving up about 10% of net revenue.
Still, copyright lawyers say the MTA may not have a strong case.
"If all she is doing is painting over the MTA's logo with her own artistic expression, there wouldn't be any claim the MTA would have unless there's some statute that makes the card sacrosanct," says David Leichtman, a partner at New York law firm Robins, Kaplan, Miller & Ciresi and chairman of Volunteer Lawyers for the Arts. "The MTA...likely can't force her to take a licensing fee."
