Jamie Alexander, co-owner of Park Life, has pulled the bookends but is outraged by Koons' claim over the image of balloon animals. She states, "This man can't own something that existed before him." Local copyright lawyer Simon Frankel agrees by saying, "The idea that Jeff Koons would have an exclusive right to make objects in the shape of a balloon dog simply because he made one is surprising and inconsistent with copyright law".
As The L Magazine puts it...
"So there you have it, Jeff Koons is now the world's only licensed balloon animal artist. Puppies start at about $2 million. See you at the state fair."
