I've never heard an official public statement from anyone at TLC acknowledging
the site's existence, and I guess I would be surprised to see one.  However,
I can say that I do know of three attorneys at LEGO who know about the site
and what it contains, two of whom have known about it for at least 26 months.
So I would be extremely shocked if there were any crack-downs.  LEGO seems to
be taking a live-and-let-live style of approach.  It's helping them and it's
not really getting in their way, so they let it slide.  (That's my
interpretation.)

(...) I believe that they're aware of it, but have they *stated* that they're aware of it? That is, how could such "awareness" be documented at this point? Frank mentioned that some LEGO CSR's have referred to the site, but is that the same as TLC (...) (26 years ago, 2-Oct-00, to lugnet.publish)
