iPod sex toy maker threatened by A le over use of silhouettes

Remember the iBuzz we found over a year ago? The su osed iPod sexy toy acce ory that can *ahem* buzz along to your favorite tunes? Tur out they started employing some silhouette marketing to the product, which earned them a threat of legal action from A le over the use of their darling facele characters.

The iBuzz creators posted details of the threat on their site (warning: FW. No nudity, but close enough), noting how strange it is that A le took over a year to go after them. They also point out the creator of another iPod-related sexy toy, called the gPod, whose inventor is obviously having a problem registering a trademark (for obvious pod-related reaso ).

Not to worry though - towards the end of their page about the legal action, iBuzz states they are about to launch a new site for the upcoming iBuzz 2.0 (no, really), complete with a shiny new silhouette-le animation anyway. Sounds like people are doing a lot more than rocking out with their iPod these days.
