That is not true. They're more like a deep pocket adopted uncle. Every penny that WOTC borrows from HASBRO has to be paid back. Every case brought to HASBRO has to have a bottom line. Everything else, WOTC has to take care of themselves. HASBRO didn't invest in WOTC because they wanted to take up its cases and dump money into it. They invested in WOTC because they think WOTC can take care of itself and bring in a little cash at the same time.HASBRO may lend its lawyers, but WOTC still has to pay those lawyers. HASBRO's might does not stand behind WOTC unless HASBRO products are included in the issue. WOTC is NOT a division of HASBRO. WOTC is a SUBSIDIARY of HASBRO. Why do you think HASBRO doesn't put their logo on WOTC products? All copyrights belong to WOTC, not HASBRO. All product issues are WOTC's product issues, not HASBRO's. If WOTC doesn't pay for itself because of distribution costs, HASBRO will sell them in an instant, because they can and that's all WOTC is to them.</blockquote>
