"The company that commissioned 'Fearless Girl' is suing its creator."

"According to court filings dated February 14th, investment firm State Street Global Advisors (SSGA) is claiming that the sculptor, Kristen Visbal, is 'weakening and adulterating the "Fearless Girl" message' by selling copies of the statue. The firm alleges that the artist has made at least three unauthorized reproductions of the statue so far: one for an Australian law firm, one for the owner of the Grand Hotel in Oslo, and a third that Visbal brought to this year’s Women’s March in Los Angeles."

Felix Salmon: "lolololol."

Nicholas O'Donnell:  "For something that was commissioned as PR, this is an odd PR move."
