Mattel is a harsh, bullying corporation that does not deserve your sympathy or that of the courts: "A British dollmaker who turned Barbie into a partly nude Dungeon Doll, complete with rubber bondage dress and helmet, did not appear to violate the copyrights of Mattel Inc., a judge said. The judge, citing an advertisement describing the doll as wearing 'lederhosen-style Bavarian bondage dress and helmet in rubber with PVC-mask,' wrote that the doll is 'quite different from that typically appearing on Mattel's products for children.'"
