"Showing Barbie Doll's Head on Sex Web Site May Be Fair Use"
"Toy manufacturer Mattel is not entitled to summary judgment in a copyright
infringement case against a British woman who sold sexually explicit dolls
made partly with Mattel's SuperStar Barbie head, a federal judge in New
York has ruled. The judge found that the defendant's statements about
artistic expression and parody raised the affirmative defense of fair use."
