I thought that this story is rather interesting, given the scale of
the product:

what's amazing is that Hasbro could have avoided this altogether by simply
avoiding use of the font on its website — without picking it apart, that
seems to be the only place where the actual _font software_ has been
distributed (versus the visual images made by that software, not subject to
copyright)
In Europe, even the visual images made by the font software are
subject to copyright.
I note at the end of the article there's an update indicating Hasbro has
removed the font.
Does that affect Font Brothers copyright claim in any way? That doesn't
erase Hasbro's prior infringement does it?
