That might open him up to some level of liability if something goes wrong.
Sure, they look pretty "destitute" to me.
Note to Ms. Agurto: Your living room might not be the best place to ladle honey from buckets into jars.
Do you want ants? Because this is how you get ants.
The MSM doing what they do best. Making a victim out of someone who was doing something wrong.
I don’t know how she carries on each day.
It must be something a Honky like me doesn’t understand due to my privilege...
She is completely in the wrong here. You can’t use someone’s likeness to sell a product without their permission (and lots of paper from the lawyers). She should’ve known that.
***My motivation was not to profit by using the image of a famous person, she said. I was selling honey to survive.***
Yep, she contradicted herself right there, and from the labels on the jars, she absolutely was wanting to profit by using the image of a famous person.
So true.
“She shouldve known that.”
Do you think she actually didn’t know, and thought she could get away with it?
The McCloskeys also had a honey problem.
The photo is another matter, If I were her, I would pick some object in the movie that is not copyrighted (like a claymor sword held in 2 strong hands) and use it on the label.
Then there would be no infringement on his copyright.
When you tie the images with the name to suggest Mel, it falls under infringement of his brand.
Just call it cease and desist organic honey.
“You boys mask up and keep boxin’ that honey. I’ll glam for the fans!”
No problem - it is one of my speed bumps also.
Honeybees are great pollinators and CA should be encouraging beekeepers. With drought and fires the bee is an essential worker to CA. Gibson should hang his head in shame.
I agree, but I suspect he knew nothing about the original cease and desist order; they’re pretty much automatic. I’m sure he’s well aware of it by now.
I’m afraid it still won’t sell very well.
You will need to find a left wing billionaire to subsidize your operation.
She wasn’t sued by Gibson guitars..............
With his pic, yes. With some other object I doubt there is an issue.
