Super Bowl Copyright and Infringement. FUCK the NFL.

Obviously the NFL isn't aware of Fair use U.S. Copyright code 17; § 107.

From the first link, The DSM Group:
The NFL trademarked the terms “Super Bowl” and “Super Sunday.” We’re hoping that didn’t just put you in manic mode as you realized the ads you are finalizing either in-house or for a client includes “Super Bowl.”

The NFL even went as far as trademarking slogans, catchphrases and team names associated with the NFL teams. Companies have been advertising around the Super Bowl with synonyms such as “Big Game” or “Game Day.”

According to Ken Basin, a trademark and entertainment attorney in Los Angeles, “the NFL aggressively sends out cease-and-desist letters if “Super Bowl” is used without permission in a commercial context.” This does not necessarily put a company in a legal mess rather than just further scare them not to use the term.
While the NFL's precious trademark terms are not used in any connection to a commercial context at this blog...Fuck Off, NFL and Roger Goodell.

Super Bowl. NFL Super Sunday. Super Bowl. Super Sunday. NFL Super Bowl. NFL Super Bowl SundaySuper Bowl. Super Sunday. Super Bowl. Super Sunday. NFL Super Bowl. NFL Super Bowl Sunday. Super Bowl. Super Sunday. Super Bowl. Super Sunday. NFL Super Bowl. NFL Super Bowl Sunday. Super Bowl. Super Sunday. Super Bowl. Super Sunday. NFL Super Bowl. NFL Super Bowl Sunday. Super Bowl. Super Sunday. Super Bowl. Super Sunday. NFL Super Bowl.

This NFL bullshit is the same as Thompson-Reuters and AP. "You cannot reprint our material without express permission." Uh-huh. Well, good luck with that.

I'll be waiting for receipt of that aggressive cease and desist notice. In the meantime, if I can think of a way to use the terms "Super Bowl" and "NFL Super Bowl" in a commercial manner, I'll publish that post.

 Roger Goodell, the $75 Million biggest cry-baby in the SUPER BOWL WORLD.
