You know what they say about assumptions.

The article suggests that the cease-and-desist was related to copyright. A public library’s education initiative should be covered by fair use. It’s unclear what WB are up to except showing their asses.

In any event, if I were Teton County’s head librarian, it would be a cold day in hell before I’d cooperate with WB’s free publicity events again. I’d likely refuse to buy any book they might have an interest in as well.

Yeah, I’d take every reference to hp down out of spite. No free publicity from me anymore
