Uhm, I don't think that the article was posted because it had anything to do with Barbie dolls. The subject matter of the legal debate is just an incidental aspect of the article itself. It was selected because of its relevance: Large company "A" with piles of cash to throw around sees item "B," in this case the word "Barbie," which they rightly or not-so-rightly believe belongs to them. Said company tries to bully average citizen "C" into giving item "B" back (for lack of a better term) to them by threatening legal action. Average citizen "C" posts on/. and asks for feedback. My point here is that he could have been writing about anything: Barbie, Intel, Rob Malda, or rutabagas. He was asking about for advice on how to handle the situation. -----
