Hi, Robin: As a very public figure, Jobs's expectations of privacy are not the same as yours or mine. If the doll maker wanted, he could have made the doll under the heading of "Cyber Visionary" or "Computer Guru." If he didn't use Jobs's name (or do such a great job sculpting), he could have manufactured this. His flaw was in being too talented in making the likeness (which was extraordinary) and naming it "Steve Jobs." My gut feeling is that the Jobs family cannibalized efforts of others--and stepped on lots of patent laws along the way--so they should not have objected to a complimentary, reverential doll. Jobs and his cohorts bent the rules when they were building the empire. Sometimes, you have to let other people have their freedom to be rebels as well. - Stephanie
