Do they seriously have nothing better to do?

A 'Dr. Who' fan created knitting patterns for the programme’s monsters and gave them away online has been told by the BBC to stop or be sued. WTF?

The 26-year-old woman, who uses the name Mazzmatazz because she does not want to be identified, said that she was “just an ordinary person who likes knitting” who had been caught up in “a bit of whirlwind”. Lawyers argue that her case shows that trademark and copyright law should be changed.

However, the BBC says it is defending its own trademark, although it has no intention of producing knitted Doctor Who baddies, in threats that are reminiscent of KFC’s attempt to sue a Yorkshire pub for offering a “Family Feast” menu. KFC dropped the action after an outcry a year ago.

Sheesh, what's next? It's as bad as Donald Trump trying to trademark "You're fired." I thought imitation was the sincerest form of flattery. Chill Dr. Who bigwigs, go make your show and leave the little people alone.
