Another triumph for copyright law over evil unscrululous money-grabbing profiteers:
Quote:
A Doctor Who fan is embroiled in a row with the BBC after she published knitting patterns for the sci-fi drama's monsters on the internet.
The patterns of Ood and Adipose were removed from her website after the BBC's commercial arm complained that they breached its copyright.
But the woman said the corporation was "making an example of her".
BBC Worldwide said it acted because finished figures were being sold by others on auction website eBay.
It also denied threatening legal action and said it had offered to consider marketing the designs itself.
