NY Port Authority Claims to Own The NYC Skyline: Tells Store to Destroy Skyline-Themed Plates
3rd August 2014
What is it with insane NY-related bureaucrats and their attempts to “own” things? In the past, we’ve covered how New York State is a pretty big trademark bully over the “I ? NY” phrase, and did you know that the Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA) claims ownership over the phrase “If you see something, say something”? And, now, we find out that the controversy-ridden Port Authority of NY and NJ appears to be claiming ownership of the NYC skyline. No joke. It apparently sent a cease-and-desist letter to Fishs Eddy, a housewares store in Manhattan that is selling some city themed dishes.
Well: (a) New York, and (b) bureaucrats. ‘Nuff said.
Bet: These guys are mostly, if not all, Democrats. This is the way Democrats think. ‘All within the state, nothing outside the state, nothing against the state.’
