They forced us to invoke IP law, very communist lol.
We sent a formal email to the registrar explaining lemmygrad is our copyright and the copycat website was attempting to mimic us, which went against their TOS.
The host took it down just now but no word yet on what this means exactly. If they still have access to the domain or not.
We will follow them if they try something else with the lemmygrad name.
Anyway that’s that I think.
Copyright is granted upon creation of a work, and because lemmygrad.ml can show when it was registered, whoever registered it owns the rights to it.
Titles and names are usually not covered by copyright which is where trademarks come in, but trademarks are not registered either. In this case lemmygrad is more like a brand and we can show we’ve been using this brand since 2019, for this specific purpose (someone could make a lemmygrad drink if they wanted).
No registration was necessary but we might look at doing it if this happens again or lemmygrad grows even more famous.
I’m picturing a line of cereals. Mostly corn based with a little cartoon tank as the brand lead and a cartoon Che on his motorcycle for the maté flavoured one, and the 8th box in the variety pack is branded copium so you have one that you can give to your lib friends.
And at the reverse of each box you can find cool facts about Marxism
“Stalin did nothing wrong”
This is the only way forward if we want to expand Lemmygrad. Watch out for the lemmygrad communist party soon 👀
(/s just in case)
nice I was worried for myself lol… have to pay up or act fast maybe.
this site will always be better than that garbage lol
Lmao I want to make a lemmygrad cocktail now, vodka + something red
Lol I was inspired by Leninade when writing this comment
Vodka and cranberry juice already exists and it’s good 😬
