when the company starts out (they have taken it down since tim tebow went ater them)…….but starts their t-shirt campaign as “tim tebow new york jets t-shirt”

Tim Tebow has every right to go after them.

Maybe 5 seconds of research would help your internet tough guy status.

internet tough guy? Because I know what I’m talking about?

Might want to research the copyright laws buddy and how they work. The company didn’t just “start out” – they’ve had many other t-shirts before. And Whether or not there is anything that is “related” to Tebow is irrelevant.

There is no part of Tebow or any kind of direct representation of him that is represented on the shirt. The jets logo is the only thing that is copy righted and trademarked. The NFL is the only party here that potentially has a case.

Helps to know what you’re talking about instead of being some loud mouth who watched Law and order once or twice.

Weird Al has several parodies he can’t release because he can’t get approval from the performers of the song he’s parodying, so that might not be as cut-and-dry as you think.

Lolb,

Didn’t know the Jet’s were the only team that used block lettering and a circle around its name. I don’t even recall a fish being on their logo. Their are obviously some similarities, but their are also difference. The Jets and the NFL are going to make plenty of money this year. Do they really need to go after a small business because they came up with a great idea? And yes, people can be mad at TEBOW. True Christians are not worried about copyright laws, making money, and holding others back. Hippocrates however do.
================================

HAHAHA…..spell much Lucky….what? 3rd grade?

This is the second thing Tebow has done to make himself look bad since the trade. The first was to lie about whether he had the choice of going to NY or Jacksonville.

If people want to see Tebow fall from grace they’ve got him in the perfect environment for it right now. Personally I wish him the best and hope he holds it together.

The NFL and the Jets are legitimate to bring on any law suit but it is not that easy for them to win.

It may resemble the Jets logo and it was intended to but there are many differences that it will be hard for any one to prove it is an infringement to the copyright.

Mission accomplished.

Haha go to the companies site and check out the saints bounty t shirts. Now that’s funny. Also, something the NFL might want to check out.

——————————–

That’s a really good point. Interesting the league is upset about the Jets “infringement” when the Saints, Redskins, Colts and Patriots are blatantly more obvious (and Andrew Luck. RGIII and Rob Gronkowski have a much bigger gripe than Tebow since, their names are actually used). So why did the league choose to fight the company on the issue of a questionable JETS reference instead of these other teams? Look into this, Florio, and let us know WTF?!

ok so I if I do a parody of the ACLU logo, they won’t have a problem with it right?

———————-

So… what does the ACLU logo look like, anyway?!

It will be interesting to see if the league has a strong case. I somehow doubt that they will win on the merits, although they have enough money and smart lawyers to win by brute force. Still, if you understand copyright laws, you understand that even if you can show a clear usage of another person’s intellectual property (which is not clear in this case since the copyright covers they text “NY JETS”, not “MY JESUS”), an artist can still do it if, 1.) it represents a clearly distinct artistic message or 2.) it seeks to make a socially or politically relevant point that can only be made by the use of the copyright (any questions, ask Andy Warhol). I would suggest this logo meets both of those qualifications. So, even if you can prove that the artist intended to violate the copyright, they would be OK if the point was to show the arrogance of a certain NY Jets player who might automatically assume that such a reference to Jesus was a reference to him. Again, my bet is the NFL will win this one, but not because it has the better legal grounds…

….Please show me where it says Tebow owns the rights to “Jesus” or anything christian related.

The only thing the NFL can sue for is violation of the Jets Logo.

Please stop acting like you know anything about the Law.

Seriously? Please show me where it says the lawsuit is about Tebow claiming to own the rights to “Jesus” or anything christian related? Is that really what you think?

Tebow is suing because they used his name to promote the shirts.

Please stop acting like you know anything about the topic.

Tebow is a huge Christian freak, and you hate him for being so damn happy about it. We all get it. Doesn’t mean you can just blindly hate on the guy without actually reading the articles. Can’t just look at the pictures buddy.

Where did they use his name BUDDY? I don’t see one mention of Tebow on the shirt. Do they have some secret ad campaign mailed only to people that have read the cease and desist letter and therefore know everything, like you? Sounds like you have a mad case of man crush on TT and would love to take a knee in front of him to gargle his nut curd.

Well, you non-realists are the ones who think that the trademark would give the NFL a win in court if this went all the way to a completed hearing. This isn’t a case of someone trying to trick people into buying it by making it look like a real piece of Jets merchandise. They make the difference clear.

ok so I if I do a parody of the ACLU logo, they won’t have a problem with it right?

There’s only one way to find out, bro. Knock yourself out at the drawing board, and then report back so we can all be further entertained by your creative and Constitutionally directed genius.

With even the smallest amount of savvy these days, Jesus can be your cash cow, too.

Now, let us Tebow (er, uh, I meant let us pray).
