Apple lawyers sent an e-mail to M.I.C. Gadget in 2010 for producing a . The letter said: "Unauthorized use of a person's name and/or likeness constitutes a violation of California Civil Code Section 3344, which prohibits the use of any person's name, photograph or likeness in a product without that person's prior consent."

M.I.C. pulled the product and asked people who had already purchased the figure to get in touch with Apple.

Both cases are unfortunate but understandable.

The law seems to speak for itself but at the same time, if a few Apple fanboys want to spend their hard-earned cash buying Jobs paraphernalia it doesn't exactly harm the company. Does it?
