cliveo dare I say it but are you not being too much of a lawyer about this? If someone on the forum sold 200 shirts for £20 each featuring a design similar to My Little Pony, the worst that would happen is that Hasbro's corporate lawyer-bots would issue a cease-and-desist letter for passing off. By which time everyone who wanted a shirt would have one. Their damages - if they wanted to push it that far - would presumably only be the price of the shirts ie £4000 ie about four hours of over-priced attorney time. Not much of a risk surely? Making a My Little Pony do something disgusting, or positioning it next to some swear-words might raise their ire a bit more though...
