Remember the guys who tried to copyright reaction videos on KZfaq? They didn't get it done but still, copyright laws are a joke. I'm a music producer, so I follow this kind of stuff pretty closely, there's been songs that got sued for vibes, literally, the song had a simillar "vibe" to other song and that was enough to take it to court....

@thelordz33 2 жыл бұрын

The copyright probably wouldn't stand in court which is probably why they never went after the magical bake-off like Captain D joked about. In all reality, they didn't need to do this at all, but probably just saw the copyright and didn't actually understand US copyright law.

I live in the US and have been aware of and watched several times and discussed this show with friends and it's always been known colloquially as the "Bake-Off" What is confusing me is that if it's always been the "Baking Show" in the US, why do I know it's called the Bake Off? Why does "Baking Show" after years on PBS and Netflix sound wrong to me? If Pilsbury forced them to bend reality and erase "Bake Off" from my American existence why is Bake-Off what I know?

Huh, I only catch glimpses of it when my wife watches the show, but somehow I thought it was called "Bake-Off," probably because it sounds better than "Baking Show" and it's a _common_ thing that absolutely should not be copyrightable, like a community bake-off. Is Pilsbury gonna have its lawyers stomp on that school or church that has a bake-off fundraiser?

I've always *hated* American trademark law. An example that's similar to this ridiculous Pillsbury one is of a place that used to be called "McCoffee". It was -- you guessed it -- a coffee shop (cafe). The woman who owned it named the shop as a homophone of her own name, McCaughey. After being in business for 17 years, she was sued by McDonald's because of her use of "Mc" before the word "coffee". McDonalds had no "McCoffee" product, but they decided to create a "McCafe" product, so they apparently felt justified in shutting down anyone/anything that was even remotely similar, regardless of the space that person/product was in. McCaughey didn't use the famous arches in her logo, and she didn't sell fast food. But the corporate slimebags just had to **** up her business. This is one of countless examples where corporate lawyers justify their existence based on laws that fly in the face of common sense. No human being with working brain cells would've seen her small cafe and thought, "Oh, I must be able to get a McDonald's McCafe here!" It's just corporate America blinded by irrational greed.

In this instance, the similarity to McDonald's product naming convention would be enough for a challenge, even without there being branded McDonald's coffee involved. Unfortunately 17 years as a business is not a even close to the age of the product naming convention, but had her shop predated McDonald's product naming convention, she could have won. At least, if she could prove her shop was called McCoffee before McDonald's first use of the naming convention, she should, in a UK court.

“Such is the life of a visual effects artist…” I learned this in great and agonizing detail recently. My friend from high school became a VFX artist, it was always her dream! She went to Full Sail, did dozens of online courses, animated hundreds of videos and her dream of dreams was to one day work on something like the LoTR trilogy. We hung out recently and she complained for HOURS about how annoying and shit her job is. Apparently she recently spent days on adjusting the bulge on an overweight guy because “it looks weird and uncomfortable and draws the eye.” and that was all the note she got. Fix a fat guys mushed up lumpy bulge. She also meticulously adjusted a few beards and mustaches, adjusted cleavage, removed acne or blemishes, and apparently had to give a guy a very specific “farmers manicure” digitally for an AD she worked on and they said the hand model didn’t match… She complains and hates _what_ she’s forced to work on, but apparently she still loves VFX and loves her job. It’s just part of working her way up the ladder! She actually got work adjusting food and drinks for some ads and apparently that’s a good thing?! Like a step up? Idk… she seemed fuckin *stoked* about about adding orange juice to a commercial and acted like it was her big break, even though I’ve seen her animate photo realistic Autobots transforming and made a CG clone of herself that fooled her own mother. But the juice… was… good? I dunno. VFX as an industry is bizarre when you think about it and I respect the people who choose to do it for a living!

Well, the expression "bake off" did not exist in English previous to Pillsbury inventing it in 1949 for a recipe competition, I presume based on the expression "show off", so...

“The Great British Baking Show” is the name of a real competition, just as “bake off” is as well, just because something’s online name is different than its real name doesn’t make the real competition fake. And even if the competition named,”The Great British Baking Show” was somehow fictitious, there are tons of titles of nonfiction things that aren’t real in it of themselves, like “Silent Spring” one of the most famous nonfiction books of all time.

I used to work at an intellectual property management firm so I may be able to shed some light on the rationale behind the decision to change the name of the show. tl;dr is that the show itself does not infringe on Pilsbury's trademark, but the showrunners probably wanted to leave the door open for merchandising opportunities in the future that would have infringed if they hadn't changed the name. Trademarks are industry-specific. You can't trademark something and then prevent anyone on the planet from using your trademark. It's only infringement if it's a competitor. That's why there are two "Cracker Barrel" brands. One is a restaurant, the other is a cheese brand sold in grocery stores. The two companies are totally separate. Kraft would never be able to open a restaurant named "cracker barrel" and Cracker Barrel restaurant can't sell food with the Cracker Barrel name on it in grocery stores. Since "The Great British Bake-Off" is a TV show and Pilsbury is a food company, this would not be an infringement. They could have just imported the show with no changes and probably would have been fine. But whoever imported the show probably wanted to sell branded merchandise as well. If you search "Pilsbury Cook Book," you will find a Pilsbury-branded cookbook for sale called "Bake-Off," and if you seach "Great British Baking Show Cook Book," you will find that they published books under that name as well. So it wasn't the show itself that infringed, but rather the merch they wanted to sell attached to the show that infringed. So some poor VFX artist had to change the name of the show and the hosts had to re-shoot the intro just so they could sell a cookbook.

At the end of the day, they still changed the name for a stupid reason, and Captain D still made a good point about how larger companies can bully smaller companies even when they aren't infringing. I think there may be some mistaken assumptions that Pilsbury threatened to sue for infringement and that is what caused them to change the name, but the reality is, in my opinion, even more stupid. They changed the name so they could sell stuff attached to the show instead of just letting the original creation be appreciated by a new audience. The irony of that is that everyone still knows it as "The Great British Bake-Off" so the attached merch probably doesn't sell very well.

@57thorns 2 жыл бұрын

That still does not validate the macCafé and Pillborough examples. It should also be noted that "bake-off" is a general term in UK English and as such can't be trademarked at all. It would be like trademarking "marathon". It is fine to trademark " Marathon", but not Marathon itself. Especially the local government of the town Marathon might have issues with this. So "Pillbury bake-off" can be trademarked all over the world, but even if there are two cook books, the "Pillsbury bakeoff cookbook" and "The great British Bake-off cookbook" are just as different as "The adventures of TinTin" and "The adventures of Tom Sawyer".

@mcarpen89 2 жыл бұрын

@@57thorns Trademark laws can be a bit different in different countries. In the US, a lot of what you are describing is not accurate. The examples he gave are examples of corporate intimidation where a company that holds a trademark can bully a smaller company into changing their name just by threatening to sue them. Even if the corporation would lose the lawsuit, having to respond to a lawsuit costs the smaller company more than it would cost them to change their name, so they just take the easier route. It's not fair but then again IP in general screws over more people than it helps. Regarding the GBBO, I found no evidence that Pilsbury ever sued Netflix. Corporations usually try to steer clear of each other's trademarks even if there's no case for infringement in order to avoid a costly legal dispute.
