Stealing Nemo: French author sues Pixar

What? Steve Jobs steal?? The Tocqueville Connection: "The French author of a children's book is suing Disney for using what he says were characters similar to ones he created in its hugely successful animated film 'Finding Nemo', his lawyer said Wednesday. Franck Le Calvez claims the hero of the US movie, a clown fish named Nemo, looks very much like the main character in his book 'Pierrot le poisson-clown' (Pierrot the Clown Fish), which came out at the end of 2002 and whose outline was lodged with a French authors' copyright association in 1995, his lawyer, Pascal Kamina, said."
