"The trademark question, meanwhile, will hinge on whether the mention of the Beastie Boys' name in the YouTube video description misled viewers into thinking the band was officially affiliated with an unauthorized parody."

I think that's the decisive factor. I think this wouldn't have been a problem if they hadn't used the Beastie Boys' name in the video description, and that's what makes me sympathize with Goldieblox (who I love!) a little less than I'd like to. Your thoughts?
