That is one of my favorite videos! Content advisory: there is one swear word in it that is bleeped out. Near the end they mention some other trademarks, and adding to the fun they bleep out those too - and even put CENSORED overlays on the singers' mouths. They also made a followup video that is just as delightful (and slightly more NSFW): [VIDEO] And here is a fun article about some other companies' friendly alternatives to the traditional C&D letter: [LINK]

If you've never seen the video ad that went along with this campaign, it's hilarious and worth watching, as is the follow up. I love the good humor about the whole thing. And it has made their campaign stick in ways that other similar campaigns have not. [LINK] [VIDEO]

Great. Hope this is real. I'd be impressed if the real lawyers did this. There was a follow up video, also good [VIDEO]
