Here's my little unbiased two cents on the 4inthe5 and 4thegirls situation. Let me start by saying I'm a lawyer, this is not legal advice, okay? First things first, trademarks. What is it? The 4inthe5, get it trademarked if you can. This is I haven't searched, I don't know. Trademarking is going to be your best form of protection. Copyright, everyone's saying they're copycat, they're stealing, their IP. Okay, let's let's break this down. Both pieces of content are amazing. They're in two separate cities. It's giving visuals and excitement and inspiration for girls in different cities to come together as girlfriends, right? Okay, we love that. It's fine. It's okay. They're not stealing, they're inspired by and they also did tag, I'll give the 4thegirls that, the 4thegirls, they did tag the 4inthe5 to give them credit. I think one, it's timing. Two, everyone wants to feel like their idea is so original and I'm not saying that it's not original to some capacity. Yes, they did start this back up like the girl group kind of vibe which I love, I love watching both. But I want us to stop throwing out terms like infringement on IP or stealing and copying an IP. Well, we don't even know what IP is. Half of y'all be writing off your intellectual property and your contract with brand deals for $2. If we want to get into it. But yeah, y'all should definitely get the name trademarked. Oh, let me also say the 4inthe5, they're using the Sex and the City vibes and theme song. It's fine. For the girls, tag them in the inspiration, they did. Of course, always say hey we was inspired by like shout out to the girls. But if they were smart women, if we're smart, we would come together and create one in every city. I want to see the girls in every city. What are they doing? Where are the girlfriends? Where are the girl groups? Where are they going? Like I want to see that. So let's not limit ourselves or feel like there's not enough for all of us. So then we have to try to push someone out for copying. How about we be more open-minded and say you know what, they were inspired by us, maybe we go travel to ATL and we could do like a whole weekend where they plan it. Maybe they can come to New York or we go to Chicago, we go to LA, like let's think outside the box y'all. We need to make more money, okay? What is it? You can go faster alone, but further together. Ha! Oh also, do y'all not remember the YouTube sisterhood? Like that was so tea. I feel like this is kind of the short form version of that, kind of. Anyway y'all.
Their other posts in the index, biggest breakout first.
