<i>Dutch TeenClub Seventeens</i> aren't only doing the same niche. That's not the issue. The issue is they're doing the same niche <i>along with</i> a strikingly similar branding & banner design (with same caption at bottom, <i>in effect</i>). In essence; No, I agree, you cannot copyright Seventeen/17, and it does not mean everyone else using it is copying. No, promoting dutch porn as well as a competitor does not mean you're copying. No, using a near same banner as a competitor does not mean you're copying. No, using <i>Club</i> in your name does not mean you're copying. And finally, using a similar marketing approach to a competitor does not mean you're copying. <i>However</i>, employing all of the above certainly <i>does</i>. I believe <i>Dutch TeenClub Seventeens</i> are trying to capitalise on <i>Club Seventeen</i>'s name. In my book that is just not right.<br></div> |

It actualy looks better than the original. :)
|
You inspired them. Be proud...
|
mmm as they say, you built upon what you've got.
|
What's so unique about those banners?
I, as well as many others have been making banners like that for the past five years.. there's nothing new or unique about either of them... |
you should bump this thread after you have spoken to your trademark lawyers. it will be interesting to see what they say about it.
cheers |

But don't you see a resemblance? There are too many similarities, as noted above, to be a coincidence. I agree <b>spanky</b>, it'd be very interesting to see what someone in the know has to say. Quote:

This is an outrage. A travesty even. |
Me either, how dare they! Sarcasm aside, I'm not impressed.

I think the second one is better than the first (original)

The site is a rip off of Club Seventeen. Maybe it's a legal rip off, that's fine, but let's not try to deny it's a rip off.

I'm going to release a new niche next week :
shemale wheelchair bound midgets being reamed in the butt with barbed wire aluminum baseball bats ... Nobody can steal my idea now I am copyrighting it :321GFY |
can I start club17ish.com??
weird no one has that....hmmmmmmmm :eatmouse |

Can I be the midget? |
First of all:
Tribute to Horny Rob! :thumbsup He's our friend 4 ever!!! Next: 17s.com is a rip off! Hehehhehe, fact is: A new competitor in the business makes it even more interesting! |
I don't see any similarities either. You are over-reacting.

nick do you guys have an actual trademark on it? If not then there is not much you can do. |
what fucking planet are you from. This is the nature of all business. Do you think Fruit Loops went crying to the cerial community when Fruit Rings came out. Your lucky Microsoft hasn't decided to attack your market. Do you think Smoothie stores cry about other smoothie stores. It's not like you invented naked teenagers.

Ha, we're no doubt a divided bunch. *g*

As far as Froot Loops go, I find it hard to believe they didn't go crying. In fact...in this case, they <b>did</b>. Kellogg's pursued a drum band named <i>The Toucans</i> for using the same bird in their name as Froot Loops feature in it's marketing - Toucan Sam. Quote:
Granted, Kellogg's lost their appeal to stop <i>The Toucans</i> registering their band name as a trademark, HOWEVER this is not a fair comparison to Fruit Rings - which is an identical product (not a band). In essence, Kellogg's <i>do</i> give a shit when they're being ripped off - and so they should. How the fuck is <i>Club Seventeen</i> any different? |
just a quick note to all who put the banners were very different...
1) there are 2 girls, both in the same pose, both with clothes in the same position, both looking at the same angle 2) both mention dutch/holland 3) both say seventeen somewhere on the banner .. and yes... 4) they are both vertical! ;) i think they do have a case, but dont think they would win.. not worth the effort. i strongly recommend they dont mention the other site on theirs though, or in their members area "these ppl are ripping us off". if i was a member, id check them out to see how much they were ripping off, with the chance i might like it and switch! |

These surfers might go to 17s.com for a one time look, after that they wish they'd never left us, Club17's membersection is by far much better and bigger than theirs. well... STILL A RIP OFF! |
