Re: [videoblogging] Re: my video got taken off archive

I'm not an IP attorney but I wonder if using Barbie dolls in stop motion is really a trademark infringement...I would think not.  Especially in light of the MCA case, but even more generally...I'm not at all sure that that would be infringing.  I have a pretty good understanding of US copyright law, but I guess my trademark knowledge is a little spotty in this area.  I'd be interested to hear from anyone who does have an IP law background.

In any case, including a Peaches track would be a non-starter (from a copyright distribution perspective).

There are three issues --

That Peaches number is definitely unauthorized.
The sexual content is going to piss some people off.
Barbie is a fiercely protected trademark.

The Peaches issue is a good enough reason to bounce it, add in the
other two issues and it's an obvious choice.
