I'm glad your country's copyright rules are less insane. I suspect that we'll see writing culture change a long time before the letter of the law does. Maybe by the time the law does change, we'll hardly notice. Yes, the Barbie thing is ridiculous. On a similar note, my friend camillemulan got harassed by the trademark holders of Raggedy Ann for publishing a book entitled "Raggedy Chan" (this was a limited self-publication). She had to go to a lawyer, I think, to find out that they had no grounds for telling her to cease and desist.
