Yeah, here’s an update form the link in the BB post, too:
UPDATE: On Monday, the band released a letter saying while it was “impressed by the creativity and the message” of the Goldieblox video, “make no mistake, your video is an advertisement that is designed to sell a product, and long ago, we made a conscious decision not to permit our music and/or name to be used in product ads… When we tried to simply ask how and why our song ‘Girls’ had been used in your ad without our permission, YOU sued US."
So GoldieBox is turning out to be a very, very aggressive advertiser/marketer, to the point of being 100% ethically suspect, though. This isn’t even a question of copyright anymore. It’s a question of sheer manipulation of the public by GoldieBox.
