THIS could not be settled in a lower court.🤣🤣🐕🐕💩💩💩💩

[@GaryGoat350]

Jack Daniels need not worry. I single-handedly will keep them in business from my personal consumption alone

[@Robert-ty3qi]

Unbelievable

[@ChinchillaFur]

A lower court couldn't handle this?

[@joe.oneill]

It's not about "Free Speech" when it is to make a buck.

[@floivanus]

It absolutely is, there’s not a single cartoonist, artist, parody movie, or anything created that won’t make a professional artist “a buck”

[@Ripside2]

Parodies are protected. "Eat it", "White and Nerdy"... Wierd Al got paid.

[@vids5374]

If the Supreme Court hands down an adverse judgment against the defendant on this a whole bunch of people are going to go down and get sued. Even they don't want to have to deal with all that.😅

[@amitchoubey5362]

🤣

[@mopthermopther]

I got your dog toy !

[@vids5374]

Even the most conservative Supreme Court do not have the big bull balls to pass down judgement against this defendant. They just simply don't. And the reason why is because a whole bunch of small businesses will get sued. Because parody is a small business effort. You don't see big corporations getting involved in parody.😅

[@axeblue]

We should be strengthening our copy rights w/ in certain regions.

[@deejayRavien]

Nice to know they are taking in the really important cases.

[@vids5374]

We're having a conversation about design trademarking. You need to trademark and copyright the design. It's the same thing colleges do. There's a lot of organizations that will create and invent their own font and then trade market.

[@HamburgerMolester]

I argue that Jack Daniels is pretty tasty.

[@terrancebettencourt-in7xg]

Jack Daniels also has a whiskey black mold problem

[@photosynestheticianwelcome]

This is an amazing public relations coup for Jack Daniels! Free advertising for its products via the United States Supreme Court. How many of us have access to such a forum, a forum which will generate publicly available documentation about Jack Daniels indexed in US government archives?

[@vids5374]

I could buy a Nike shirt then take it to the shop and put just poop it on there. And people could confuse that and think Nike manufactured that shirt. Which is entirely stupid regardless whether they did or not. You cannot punish people for parody. It's a part of American capitalism.

[@vids5374]

At the end of the day if I put my Blood Sweat and Tears and years into a product and somebody turned it into dog food and was on the open market😅😅 selling it I will probably be really angry about it. But it is American capitalism. It is freedom of speech. It's an open market. If you start restricting these sorts of things people are going to start copywriting and trademarking Designs. You won't be able to put a circle on a t-shirt without somebody trying to sue you.

[@vids5374]

They do not have a leg to stand on. It's a freaking dog toy. Nobody's going to say oh Jack Daniels got into the😊 toy business. And if Jack feel so strongly about it by the company and fire every last one of them and burn those things in the garbage bin. And make a big show of it. KZbinr send you a check bigger than what you paid for the company LOL

[@allensneed7062]

Is someone really going into a pet store and thinking that a dog toy is a bottle of Jack Daniels? This case is a joke.

[@robertveith6383]

No, that is not a possible point. The dog toy company is riding the coattails of the beverage company through name and appearance recognition in order to sell its product.

[@vids5374]

Parody is as much about capitalism as capitalism is.

[@DeagleBeagle]

the supreme court took this stupid case but not the other way more important ones? Lmao maybe they just wanted some laughs

[@telmagarcia4620]
