Whose Bull Is It Anyway?
OFFICIAL: Arturo di Modica has formerly served legal proceedings against Random House and the authors of “A Colossal Failure of Common Sense,” for using a photograph of his bull sculpture on the jacket of the book.
The bull has stood illegally in Bowling Green, Manhattan for 18 years. Is it Arturo’s bull? Is it the city’s? Or could it be Random Houses’s bull? Or is it America’s bull? The question hangs dolefully in the Wall Street air. “Whose bull is it anyway?”
Lawrence made $37 million for Lehman Brothers in 2007 shorting the subprime market. He is also the New York Times Bestselling Author of “A Colossal Failure of Common Sense - the inside story of the collapse of Lehman Brothers.”
He publishes a newsletter every week on this site.

Please - Did taxpayers pay for that bull? How many others will you sue for the bull? There must be thousands of pics by tourist taken a day- what about CNBC? What about the movie - Hitch? come on - frivolous lawsuit - idiots
” whose bull is it anyway?” who cares?
Frivolous to say the least
Its free Advertising
This is fun - especially since Lar probably didn’t have much say in what was on the cover in the first place. Whether he did or not, it is a close question (this is certainly not a frivolous lawsuit, assuming that the sculptor retained his copyrights - it doesn’t matter whether the sculpture is in a public place or not) - but s Chris points out, this is excellent publicity for the book, although it is hardly “free,” since Random House has to pay litigators to defend it and Lar.
What a bunch of BULL..Its America’s Bull…
