This is nonsense. You have to have permission now for decorations?
For each person that puts out a Jack O' Lantern at their front doors during Halloween, does somebody in Ireland keep track of each and every pumpkin to make sure they get a slice? |

you are nonsense. Doesn't Ireland has the LiJack O' Lantern Right?
Sanrio is the Hello Kitty's rights-holder. They are not putting it at their front doors for decorations. The Shopping district is using it for advertisement to get more people to go there. |

And costume/party stores do the same bloody thing when the calling is there.

Sanrio is kinda of Disney crazy. Use their stuff without consent and you will get the wrath of their fists.

And they get permission to do so, or they face C&D orders and/or lawsuits. What's your point? |

Dunno why they didn't just ask permission in the first place. It's the birthplace of the company president. They'd be sure to get in touch.

Fine. Two in a thousand.
All I know is, most costume shops are small local outlets - most don't even have their own websites. Not worth starting trouble over. Hence, largely ignored. |

Most costume shops have to buy their stock from retailers - and the retailers have to have permission to sell the costumes from the licensors, or else you get the story in Sailor S's article.

Apples and oranges. The costume's requirement is due to trademarks, but the shrine has every legal right to display its purchased products because they're not infringing any works here. This news just shows the absurd stupidity of what people think they have a right to own. Screw Sanrio. They're not-so-nice-people. |
