  Has anyone contacted the building company Sparlock?

  Alerting them to the nature of the video, who is behind it, and the legal efforts by the Watchtoower to claim copyright over their name.

  Perhaps even alerting them to other recent news items involving the WT and the law, notably the Candace Conti case, might produce a reaction, though it would have to be done with csre and discretion, wording it carefully so as not to imply WT legal approval of paedophilia. Still, they enable it by the policy on the way issues should be dealt with.

  For the umpteenth time, there's been no indication that the Watch Tower Society has said anything about the use of, or confirmed the spelling of, the name "Sparlock". Additionally, it's fairly clear that the purpose of a fictional toy plastic wizard does not infringe on the proprietary interest of a construction material. On the other hand, using images of another company's intellectual property for profit does infringe on their proprietary interest.
