Fine bros and copyright


Pokechan13's avatar
Well as recently, the fine bros have uploaded a video about trademarking the word react. Which I personally thing is very stupid. Especially now that they are just taking away all the creative freedom of reaction videos on YouTube. I know recently YouTube has been in the crap hole lately with the sudden, but temporary shut down of I hate everything yet now this is a serious issues with the problems between trademarking a name and expressing your opinion on certain forms of media. Also it hurts people financially because, if fineness were to have one of your reaction videos on their channel they get more money than the creator themselves. :(

Google "Fine Bros subs/sub count" and you'll find a couple of sites that show the real time happenings.

I just googled it, REACT  didn't pass due to them doing a fuzz of it during the 30-day complain period of the trademark (and getting everyone to complain against it). if they had done it after the 30 day period they could've gotten away with it.
The lawers that handled the case still wonder how did REACT ™ was able to be approved if the word "react" is a generic term; which means that it's too vague to be approved, implying that dirty play might've been behind the scenes.

So basically they are being sneaky.
