Still reeling from its nasty tussle with eToys, badboy art collective etoy Corporation says it?s now getting gip from a new direction: the LEGO Corporation.Lawyers have reportedly contacted the owner of the TOYWAR.com resistance site, which had been laying low in ?peace mode? - DefCon 4 - since the dismissal of the lawsuit against eto in February. ?Your site contains images of LEGO? elements such as the two-way radio,? the lawyers are said to have written. ?Such use causes a risk of consumer confusion, because the presence of the minifigures and the elements on  the site gives the impression that your site is in some way  related to or endorsed by the LEGO Company. In addition, your  use of foul language, obscene and violent references in conjunction with images of our minifigures denigrates the  goodwill we have built up in our products. We do not wish to have our products associated with such references…. As a result, we would ask that you remove all images of LEGO minifigures and elements from your Web site immediately.?



Etoy say that they?re convinced that ?the LEGO corporation is a cool company which is able to discuss this situation? the members of the etoy management and the etoy shareholders are all part of the LEGO generation and they all love LEGO?.? The group?s immediate response to LEGO?s request has been to ?lock all etoy tanks? and to ?distribute gas masks for all involved empoyees who look like LEGO minifigures to cover their faces and avoid provocation.? The following programmes have also been set in motion by etoy in response to the request:?THE etoy.COPYRIGHT-HYGIENE-TASK-FORCE?
