TheDapperLads Controversy

--- Quote from: Deathie on February 02, 2016, 02:14:16 AM ---FineBrothers, the people behind the youtube REACT shows like Elders React wanted to trademark "REACT" as "entertainment services, namely, providing an on-going series of programs and webisodes via the Internet in the field of observing and interviewing various groups of people.”
This would mean they'd have monetary control over practically any youtube video involving someone in front of a camera. It didn't end well.

Ah I see thank you for explaining.
People really don't think through shit before deciding "hey lets just essentially copyright all of youtube, that couldn't possibly backfire on us in any way."

A bit old, but this is an update from the lawman dudeguy who got very, very involved with all of this: https://www.reddit.com/r/technology/comments/43so7m/lawguy_dudeman_types_stuff_n_junk
All is something. I can maybe see The Fine Bros coming back from this (not a complete train wreck and dropped by their parent company and associates etc), but I feel like they'd still be tending to their wounds (and worsening public appearance due to dislikes, comments, sub drops and general pitchfork-raising).
They got a ton of views though, so if the combined pieces of information from reliable/unreliable sources are at least 90% accurate... it means they're not too worse for wear regarding income.
That is, until the controversy dies down, and everyone who jumped on the un-sub bandwagon forgets they exist for a bit. That kind of sucks.
EDIT: People still seem exceptionally hell-bent on bending hell over The Fine Bros... so maybe the controversy might actually play out well for them (?).
