Mattel’s lawyers kick superfans off YouTube and Instragram

reminds me of when I was hounded by Van’s lawyers for trying to sell a pair of sneakers decorated for their sneaker decorating contest.

“Where did you get the sneakers? You are causing our licensed distributors to break their agreement by selling these on eBay, and so you are also in violation of our agreement.” (seriously, they attempted to 3rd party me on this).

“I got the sneakers from you –– you gave them to me for your own stupid contest”

“Hey Vans marketing department –– did you know your lawyers are doing this - forwards emails”
