Though oft-demonized for their protection of unpopular forms of speech, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) supports artistic freedom for all, including photographers:
Artist Tom Forsythe, of Kanab, Utah, has used Barbie dolls to parody Barbie's embodiment of America's culture of consumption and conformism. His Barbie series of photos appeared in galleries across the country and won critical acclaim. In August of last year, Mattel sued the artist for copyright and trademark infringement. The ACLU of Southern California and the firm Howard, Rice stepped in to stop Mattel's use of litigation as a method of bullying artists into abandoning their First Amendment rights.
