The Fine Bros attempt to trademark the word REACT and reaction style videos

[The G.O.D II]

Thats the part that gets me the most. All their "product" is based off of making money from other peoples/companies products.

They didn't create the idea,they don't even really appear in their popular videos and all the videos are based off of someone elses work.

All they did was present it in a flashier way than other youtube channels now theyre trying to say other channels can't label their videos with kids react or elders react etc even though their was a seniors react show that appeared before elders react and they had them shut down.

I get annoyed when youtubers cry and whine about companies when they flag their videos for having their content in it ie. Nintendo but this is just next level ridiculous

Thats the funny thing,youtubers complain about nintendo so much because their policy of making them share the revenue,how did they think the Internet community would respond to this? And that smug look on that guys face while he rolls his eyes and shrugs his shoulders

I mean they just film reactions right? That shyt was going on since 07 with two girls/one cup and they troll scary screen saver shyt. These a$$holes really think reactions started/ends with them and want other people to give them their profits on their glorified community channel

What he wants his to believe he's thinking:

"It's so frustrating dude, we are deeply upset by this and sad our fans misunderstood us. "

What he's really thinking:

"This is going to cost us hundreds of thousands "

Greed, man. shyt's deadly.

They weren't even making original content, just reacting to original content. Ain't that some shyt.

I used to watch their "Try not to laugh" videos but fukk that

 

[Sassy]

How can one copyright something that wasn't original in the first place?

In the name of the Moon, It shall not come to pass!

This is what happens when you feed the narcissist. They start to get out of pocket. One of the reasons why I refuse to even almost all of these vloggers and social media, networking attention whores. They basically do nothing and think they should get paid for it. They ain't saying a goddamn thing that other people ain't saying. I didn't even know about this shyt or who these people were prior to today. Saw some youtube video and didn't have a clue why people were giving a fukk or why there were so many thumbs down. To tell you the truth, still don't give a fukk because I hate reaction videos to be honest. Nothing worse than trying to see a video of some ufc knock out with the video cap and boom, some motherfukker tricking people to click their video of them talking shyt about what happened. Naw, shut the fukk up. I don't wanna hear what you gotta say. Post a video of the clip and shut the fukk up.

If you're too lazy to research a subject yourself to understand the situation then why chime in with an obviously misinformed opinion just to poorly attempt to against the grain?

But by all means,defend them while their are other youtubers that have already provided proof they are flagging videos remotely similar.

They are being purposely vague on what their "product" is in their explanation videos so that they can't be held to a standard on video.

NOPE, can't just insult me in lieu of backing up your claims w/ evidence.

I'm not defending them, I'm withholding judgement specifically because I'm not sure of the entire situation. The two videos themselves are not worthy of the vitriol they've received and most people that "omg totally hate them now" have no idea about any sort of licensing vs crowdfunding dynamic debate, so lets see these scores of youtubers who have had their channels unfairly targeted and shut down. If that is in fact the case, then I can see that the widespread backlash is actually justified, despite the fact that no one cared before this announcement video dropped and a bunch of people lost their shyt thinking these guys had somehow trademarked the word "React" itself, as the thread title reads.

People make shyt up all the time when they have their pitchforks out to try to justify their need to tear someone down. THOSE are the lazy, stupid, cynical masses that join in the faux outrage without any idea or care for what they're actually supposed to be raging against. Happens constantly. I find it hilarious that someone refusing to join the mob mentality so easily upsets you.
