A Tumblr blog that removes dialog from Peanuts and replaces them with lyrics from The Smiths has cleared one legal challenge. According to Under The Radar, Universal Music sent a cease and desist letter to Tumblr alleging copyright infringement. The music company stopped the desist request after The Smiths frontman Morrissey said he was a fan and gave it his approval.
No mention of Peanuts Worldwide who holds the copyright for the feature Peanuts.
Way to go Steven. It’s very funny.
