This is re-dad-gone-diculous!
Fashion blogger Rachel Kane is on the verge of a legal battle with Forever 21 because they lack a sense of humor and don’t believe in First Amendment rights.
The company fired off a cease-and-desist letter last month and threatened to sue the comical WTForever21.com writer for “trademark infringement, copyright infringement, unfair competition and dilution” of the Forever 21 brand.
The letter goes on to say the name of her website “refers to an abbreviation for colloquial expression that the general public may find offensive” and has until June 10th to shut down her site or else.
There’s so many things wrong with this lawsuit we don’t know where to begin.
Forever 21 is acting like they’re the only clothing company in the world to be critiqued. It happens ALL the time, you’re not special.
We also find it hypocritical that Forever 21 is suing for copyright infringement when they too have infringed on copyright laws by knocking off other designers.
Hopefully the mounting backlash against the company will make them rethink this stupid lawsuit.
Thoughts???
