Trademark Infringement Notice Re: Naked Cowboy

I just received a notice re some photos taken in NYC Times Square of the iconic NAKED COWBOY...it states that "*The Registered Trademark "Naked Cowboy®" registration number 3,792,432 is being used in the sale items without permission or license." and it goes on from there...

so I took them down for now..not like I ever sold any..they were on my smugmug site where I house all of my photos..I only post my best on FAA..Just thought I would put this out there for comments..Noticed that there are several on our FAA site

Hm. That's interesting. Performers are getting savvy to the commercial value of their image, it seems.

There's a local busker here, a traveling performer who is a genius at playing the spoons. Yes the spoons, and yes, genius. She looks like a hobo, plays in the street for money, and just the other day I discovered she has a LinkedIn page.

Everybody's a commodity, everybody's gotta work it however they can.
