Now I read this: http://www.lego.com/eng/info/default.asp?page=pressdetail&contentid=13026&countrycode=2057&yearcode=&archive=false

I see that Lego paid for the destruction rather than have them given to a charity, presumeably for distribution to the poor.

I read between the lines that this is Finnish law, that siezed illegal goods can be destroyed or given to charity.

The article claimed that the clones were dangerous and could break in normal play and cut children. This has not been my experience of any clones, not even the shifty Shifty.

Indeed.

Although a headline like “Rich Multinational Toy Company Gives Poor Finnish Children Second Rate Building Bricks for Christmas” could hardly appeal to Lego...
