Beyonce Threatens To Sue The Retailer Etsy. If the craft retailer knows any better they better “BOW Down”. For those who may be unfamiliar with the online retailer. Etsy is a marketplace where people around the world connect, both online and offline, to make, sell and buy unique goods. Apparently an entrepreneur was so inspired by the Beyonce Album that he/she decided to create merchandise with the “7/11” singer’s images and typography from the album. Beyonce’s team was not having that and said NO NO NO NO NO. More details below.
Beyonce’s dream team of lawyers threatened to sue Etsy after they discovered an artist was selling bridal mugs with the word ‘Feyonce’ on it and we’re actually kinda upset. In return, Etsy temporarily removed the artists’ online shop to prevent any legal ramifications, but it may be too late.
I wonder what this means for the Couple who have the “On The Run” Wedding coming up in August? Will the couple have to recreate their entire event?
Well Rhianna just had a similar issue with retailer Topshop. The “Pour It Up” singer just won 5 million dollars.
The British retailer used a screenshot from Ri Ri’s “We Found Love” video on one of their sleeveless tanks without permission.The Topshop item conflicts with Ri Ri’s River Island line. According to Complex, a judge ruled in favor of the island gal because the shirts were damaging to her “goodwill” and represented a loss of control over her reputation in the “fashion sphere.”
The entrpreneur better hope Beyonce goes easy on them.
