Taylor Swift Being Sued

[thetea]

Evermore, a fantasy themed amusement park in Pleasant Grove Utah, is suing Taylor Swift for trademark infringement over her most recent album of the same name. According to court documents viewed by Pitchfork, the suit seeks millions in damages, plus all legal fees, and alleges that the release of Swift’s record has led to confused guests and negatively affected the park’s searchability on Google. The Plaintiffs also state that Swift’s release infringes on the park’s merchandise designs and album covers for their original soundtracks.

Swift’s team have denied the accusations in a letter filed in court, referring to the suit as “baseless.” “Put simply, the Swift Parties have not infringed your client’s trademark,” the letter states. “It is inconceivable that there is any likelihood of confusion between your client’s theme park and related products and Ms. Swift’s music and related products.” The letter also points out that Evermore Park’s sale of items such as “small dragon eggs, guild patches, and a small dragon mount” are not similar to the products sold on Swift’s website. The artist’s team declined Evermore Park’s demand that they “cease and desist from [the] use of the EVERMORE trademark.”

people are so money hungry, and the lengths they'll go to get money even though they know it's morally wrong is depressing

That is so ridiculous. They're just going under, and grasping at straws to make some money to stay afloat 

[YourPocko Pronounsyour pocko]

Well I guess amusement parks are closed now due to the virus so I guess they're looking for way to generate money to pay bills

I thought the title says Taylor Swift Being Used and I was like "That isn't new anymore "

Evermore , un parc d'attractions sur le thème fantastique de Pleasant Grove Utah, poursuit  Taylor Swift  pour contrefaçon de marque sur son dernier  album du même nom. Selon des documents judiciaires consultés par Pitchfork, la poursuite demande des millions de dommages-intérêts, plus tous les frais juridiques, et allègue que la publication du dossier de Swift a conduit à des invités confus et a nui à la possibilité de recherche du parc sur Google. Les demandeurs déclarent également que la sortie de Swift enfreint les conceptions de produits et les pochettes d'album du parc pour leurs bandes sonores originales.

L'équipe de Swift a nié les accusations dans une lettre déposée devant le tribunal, qualifiant la poursuite de «sans fondement». «En termes simples, les parties Swift n'ont pas enfreint la marque de commerce de votre client», indique la lettre. «Il est inconcevable qu'il y ait un risque de confusion entre le parc à thème de votre client et les produits connexes et la musique de Mme Swift et les produits connexes.» La lettre souligne également que la vente d'articles tels que les «petits œufs de dragon, les écussons de guilde et une petite monture de dragon» d'Evermore Park ne sont pas similaires aux produits vendus sur le site Web de Swift. L'équipe de l'artiste a décliné la demande d'Evermore Park de «cesser et de s'abstenir de [l'utilisation] de la marque EVERMORE».

Still people who want to be talked about (and a little money). That despairs me.

The real question is whether they’re just trying to get publicity or whether they’re dumb enough to actually think they have a chance
