  1. Lawyers don’t threaten to sue, they clearly communicate to cease and desist else legal action will be taken.

    This clear that they know they don’t have a strong case and can’t demand anything.

  2. Copyright/Trademark lawyer here. These lawyers ain’t gonna be able to do shit. Probably not even real lawyers.

    In the OG email from the “lawyers”, notice they did not use the word “cybersquatting”. They’re taking the “this is satire, but still trademark infringement” route. They’re hinging on *Jack Daniel’s v. VIP*, a recent Supreme Court case that limited the Roger’s Test used to evaluate trademark parody. Catch is, the Roger’s Test still applies to expressive works, and this website satire is very obviously expressive and not a product/service source identifier.

    This was probably written by a deranged Fed Soc 1L from Scalia Law School or a coked up entertainment lawyer who googled “elements of trademark infringement” minutes before sending this. Fucking entertainment lawyers.

    Just my 2¢.
