Don't remember all these shittubers saying anything when gibson sued dean.
fender will probably self destruct just like nike did
Rick Beato ___ _ _____ ____.
its hilarious he puts silver sky affiliate links in this videos
Who cares?
big shocker, guy who wants to make money by playing Eagles and Led Zeppelin's music and publishes a weekly video whining about copyright strikes on his channel is okay with making money off other people's IP
>>130511494>other people's IPStrat body is public domain.Leo Fender publicly endorsed people who copied strat design.
>>130511518>Leo Fender publicly endorsed people who copied strat design.probably because after he sold Fender he started his own ripoff companies
Keith Urban also switched to prs which is quite something considering how much he loved fender
>>130511541I don't think you can rip off your own designs.
>>130511494>other people's IPThe most realistic way to do that would be claiming trademark rights to the strat shape, which Fender tried in the 00s and lost the case over, when courts in the US ruled the strat shape had become generic. The fender headstock is protected by trademark but the body shape has not been.Fender is now trying to argue copyright over the strat shape as a work of art, making all other strats essentially counterfeit items which is why they're demanding manufacturers destroy their inventory. They're arguing this based on the ruling in Germany against some Chinese knockoff company who didn't bother to show up in court (unsurprisingly), so fender won the case by default. That makes it extremely weak legally but they're using it as a way to threaten to run other companies out of business unless they stop.They're taking issue with PRS because of the silver sky, obviously, but the silver sky only exists because John Mayer tried to get fender to build a strat to his liking and they refused so he ended up getting PRS to make it instead.
>>130511725It's a totally uneccessary shitshow. Fender already lost, their "copyright" and trademark argument is bogus and has been btfo and will be again. Smaller builders have benefitted from Fender and Fender benefitted from smaller builders making Strat copies but maybe PRS are taking too big of a slice now who knows
LIVE RICHARD "RICK HORSE DICK" BEATO REACTION
>>130511547Honestly i still love the look and shape of a Strat there's just something about it whereas the PRS headstock is horrific, but i like the mods they made on the SS

PRS is a hobbyist guitar, AKA blues lawyer mobile. I have no vested interest, but I do enjoy watching reddit and performative marxists pretend to care about this and be mad
about 10 years ago sneaker industry saw increase in demand for shoes prioritized functionality brand over traditional styles like nike and adidassimilar phenomenon is about to occur in musical instrument industry particularly with guitar and bass which had been resting on their legacy
>>130511229>Fender is trying to stop other guitar makers from copying their 1 guitar body shape>Rick Beato: Don't care. Make better instrumentsFinally, Rick says something based
>>130512068FAG!
>>130511229Ricky, don't lose that number. You don't wanna call nobody else. Send it off in a email to yourself.
I don't think he's ever even played a Fender in his vids. His entire rack is all Gibsons.

>>130511472you obviously or else you wouldn't have posted ITT
>>130511345there was a huge backlash against gibson and the ayyy lmao looking dude they poached from norman's rare guitarsit was just not youtube clickbait
>>130511494>guy who wants to make money by playing Eagles and Led Zeppelin's musichow can he review and analyze musical structure if he can't play it (let alone by his own hands) or production techniques if he can't show you the bits of production he's talking aboutthis is the most retarded bad faith argument i've ever seen you're a retard anon
He is old enough that when he was young "Dick" was as good as "Rick" as a nickname for "Richard."Dick Beat-O
>>130512575the thing about clothes is people don’t wear them. most people buy name brand instruments to actually try to make money with; they need to function
>>130524132its the same people are more prioritizing functionality and qualitynobody wants to spend money on unnecessary added value
>>130512510It is infinitely more marxist, to think that one company should hold the rights to a patent that expired generations ago because a dead guy who used to work for them first made said expired patent for them.Infinity copyright is bad enough. These rent-seeking parasites don't deserve to have it as well with expired fucking patents. Both are fundamentally anticapitalist and socialistic.
>>130511567John Fogerty got sued for plagiarizing himself.
>>130511725Has Fender contacted Suhr?I've seen many people who want top-notch instruments use them instead of Fenders.
>>130525009Rumor is they've issued a C&D letter to every maker on the German Thomann website
