jet4571 Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 That would be trademark and not copyright. Just modify the label so it looks similar but different name diferent location and a similar font but not the exact same font. If the movie and television industry can do that then so can we.

Pevey Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Well, if they send ou a cease and desist letter, at least there is a good chance they will be nice about it: http://www.businessinsider.com/jack-daniels-wrote-what-has-to-be-the-nicest-cease-and-desist-order-of-all-time-2012-7 But seriously, I wouldn't do it.

ArtMurder Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Just name it something like "Jak Daniels" then legally, it's different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously? you mean all those Coke or Pepsi look alike's in other soda ads are A-Ok Or all those fake products in movies and TV that look just like a real product except the lable is just a little different and the name sounds like the original but its not, but a Jack Daniels Bottle look alike is not? Oh and he wouldnt recieve a cease and desist, Dark0ne would for hosting the file. http://www.deceptology.com/2012/11/when-only-fake-will-do-for-hollywood.htmlhttp://movies.stackexchange.com/questions/1665/why-do-so-many-movies-tv-shows-feature-recognizable-un-branded-or-re-brandedhttp://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BrandX I would think that if an industry that makes billions of dollars on a bad year can do it then so can us lowly modders who dont make a penny of it can as well.

Pevey Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 jet, Did you read the link? It's funny. That was the point. I remember when it happened because it went viral. Also, no, I wouldn't do it. But that's just me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
