p2p news / p2pnet: "Grieving parents were devastated after being barred from putting Winnie the Pooh on their baby's gravestone by cartoon giant Disney," said Britain's This is Essex.
The Clochester family wanted the Pooh on a headstone for their stillborn child, "But Disney refused to grant the Clacton parents' request, claiming it would breach their copyright," says the story.
Now, following a flood of adverse publicity, " "Our deepest sympathies go out to the family at this time," says Disney on its Mickey News.
"We have been in contact with them and are in the process of fulfilling their original request."
In another scandal, Disney tried to weasel out of giving a share of profits from its then new Peter Pan movie to the Great Ormond Street Children's Hospital in London, England, which owns the copyright.
