Does anyone know thier stance?  If someone made a movie using Lego elements
instead of clay or something but didn't actually point out the fact that it was
Lego, (they treated the film completly serious and never pointed out the fact
that it was made with Lego it simply was, just as one makes animated clay
films.)  Would that person be able to sell the film? (assuming anyone actually
would want it) I don't know if I would ever do this but I have heard of those
that did.

Could Mr. Justus or someone from TLC provide and anwser?
