Louis Vuitton does not want its purses in your art

Designer Louis Vitton has obtained an ex parte court order preventing Nadia Plesner from exhibiting a piece of art work with a handbag resembling a Louis Vuitton handbag.  Regardless of whatever statement Ms. Plesner is trying to make about poverty and the civil war in Darfur, LV wants its coin...  Again.  For what its worth (not much), I could not have identified that handbag as an Louis V, and Anonymous is pissed, which means hilarity may ensue.

Louis Vitton's troubles with people using their intellectual property for free have been well documented, going all the back to noted culture observer Sir Mix-a-Lot's take on the issue.
