is a greedy arsebag.
i figure it'd be a small miracle if even a few hundred people downloaded & printed the model. if she needs cash, she should fire a few of the clearly-bored lawyers she has on retainer or perhaps just get her next iphone encrusted with rhinestones instead of diamonds
it's a miracle the shark suits are still in play. guy is gonna raise 50 grand and have the rug pulled out from under him; what a headphuck. my sympathies in advance.
full disclosure: i don't know a single katy perry song, i did not watch the superbowl, and i'm too broke to preorder a shark suit.

i suppose this is more about taste than the law. if kanye west had sampled katy perry instead of avril 14th, i would completely support her suing over that. ditto for saturday night live. in both cases, a $100k fee wouldn't even move the needle on their production budget. but some dude selling figurines out of his basement? that's just brutal.
the guy who made the figurine also dropped a sharp soundbite that wasn't in the article i linked: "It looks like dictators and world leaders like Putin and Kim Jong Un or Chris Christie are much easier to deal with," said Sosa.
meanwhile, this cheered me right up.

lawyers filing shark suit. whinestone-encrusted iProperty. the whole meme being clearly accidental, and katy perry claiming ownership of it. we're going to see a lot more of this in the future. litigous times

I'm her lawyer. That person is making money by selling something that is affiliated with Perry, and that only Perry fans will buy. I don't care a second about her, but I don't see what's so shocking in these times. Of course she's out there to make a buck. You do live in the states right? Isn't that the American dream? Whatever it takes, bro, whatever it takes.

She's greedy, and a power freak. Something highly regarded in the USA.

fair enough, this place is a raging britbin, and it's hard for "the chaps" to understand the superbowl. americans watch the superbowl because it's a major sports event, others watch it for the commercials, and others (like me) simply because it's an excuse to throw/go to a party and scream at the TV while getting gradually wasted. sure, there are probably a few people who tuned in for katy perry, but not many.
as for LEFT SHARK MEME: a guy in a shark costume has too many drinks before going onstage at halftime, totally bungles his dance moves, and people shit a brick laughing. next day it's water-cooler talk at the office, there are animated gifs flooding tumblr, and some grifty sorts churn out t-shirts, figurines, and even costumes. a week from now, everyone will have moved on to something else.... but it won't be forgotten; i expect to see quite a few left sharks next halloween. and that is why people would buy the suit; it has nothing to do with that tart.
katy perry's role in this was being ignored while everyone looked at left shark instead of her, which delights me. max martin writes all perry's tunes, and i doubt she designed the costumes. it's like claiming you own a car just because you happen to be standing next to it! if i had to bestow the rights to left shark upon someone, it would be the guy in the costume, really.
mostly, i find this interesting because corporate america is trying to claim ownership of an internet meme, and that's not really something that's happened before. can you own a meme? if so, it's a way of controlling the internet hive mind, and that has serious implications.
but, whatever. this is just mental chewing gum for me as i wait for shit to rsync. if you don't give a shit, just listen to whatever obara linked.

all the bad photoshops of a celebrity faces onto random pornstars, magazines selling based on the promise of a wardrobe malfunction that reveals a whole 16x16 pixels of vag, why? i figure it's for the sort of people that have trouble getting off nude and fuck through the dickhole in their jammies instead.
katy perry has $44mil and you'll never get near her; she thinks her shit don't rsync. meanwhile, gals in porn do it for the money, because they enjoy it, or both. stop buying katy perry CDs; save up your dosh, and you might actually land one someday

if she were in justice bader ginsberg's position, she'd be claiming copyright on a wine snooze
