This is one of those instances where I feel like the shop owner should have probably seen trouble coming. Media companies like Warner Bros. are very aggressive about asserting intellectual property rights. At the same time, I feel like this isn't exactly a smart move on WB's part. It's more likely that this fish and chip shop would end up providing free publicity for the cartoon franchise than that it would compete against or damage it in any way.
