Oh, this story is just the most amazing story:
A family wanted to use Winnie The Pooh's image in thier baby's tombstone and Disney was like: No way!

I understand that a grieving family wanted to use a Disney image that is completely copyrighted on their stillborn child's tombstone. However, you have to wonder how much of this information came from low level copyright handlers in the company. Surely, if the family had asked to speak to someone higher up, Disney would have relented their policy and allowed the picture after all ... as they did later on. I think that the person the family talked to initially was just answering off a script and shouldn't be flamed for doing their job the best they knew how. Broad policies work for most cases, but when you look at something like this, it is definately an extraordinary situation. AND, Disney made it right in the end.
