Last night at approximately 3:43am, a crack squad of American and British intelligence officers and LEGO lawyers stormed into my house and interrogated me under harsh lighting conditions before dragging me away kick and screaming.

  Re: Brick Testament in Trouble?
 
(...) I think the issue is one of *propriety ownership*. The "minifig" image is intellectual property of TLC and a direct reflection of their brand, and we all know how protective TLC is about their brand (rightly and justifiably so). If they see (...)

(...) That's not an unreasonable interpretation, though one needs to be careful to avoid baby-with-the-bathwater reasoning. Brendan can hardly be held accountable for the actions of his audience, just as Martin Scorsese can't be blamed for (...) (22 years ago, 25-Feb-03, to lugnet.mediawatch, lugnet.general)

(...) I don't know for sure, but it reads like trash, and looks like trash; it probably is trash. Especially given that we've had Brad J's nod of approval, and Brendan specifically so. This is almost certainly some yahoo speculating from no more (...) (22 years ago, 25-Feb-03, to lugnet.mediawatch)

  Re: Brick Testament in Trouble?
 
(...) Even aside from how TLG may pursue the matter, the article reads as so much newsrag hype. The author throws around all these shocking terms and veiled accusations but doesn't even mention the fact, much less the implications, that these are (...)
