March 6

On this date in 2008, Carrie Weiner of Encino, CA, was horrified to receive a cease-and-desist notice from the estate of Tupac Shakur. The document stated that Weiner had launched a business using the likeness of the late rapper without the consent of his family, let alone a licensing agreement and fee. Weiner, who had earned her first million by the age of 26 with her Ironic Iconic line of high-end, funky babywear contacted her attorney who assured her that Shakur's family was "just trying to cash in on his name," and that nothing would come of it.
