Jack Daniel’s Sends the Most Polite Cease-and-Desist Letter Ever

[Grandmaster Fap!]

Excellent, the proper way to do business, savvy not bully.

Good guy JD. Thats the correct way to do business.

I don't mind their whisky at all, it's not a terrible bourbon. Yes it is a little overpriced but they've kind of earnt that right with how they've built the brand I reckon.

Personally i find the JD tastes like petrol. Real Scotch Whisky is lovely. But i do like JD as a company, they seem like a nice bunch

Very very clever marketing.

The obviously employ some top people in their marketing dept.

Exactly, especially seeing as it is JD's birthday this sept.
Give me a nice aged malt over JD any day.

Scotch and bourbon, it's apples and oranges man.

I got bullied by Mattel...

Like the comments on that article said...JD knew exactly what they were doing with this.

And it worked. Good PR/marketing team.

Regardless, it's still a win/win for everyone unlike many C&D cases where the big company goes in all guns blazing!

they just dont employ ******s

i guess at the end of the day the type of design around the edges is pretty standard and im not sure they could even enforce it.

still, if they send a letter that nice why be a **** back to them?

fair play JD!

They know how to conduct good business.

They also know how to make some fine ass whisky, couldnt help but sample some tonight.

How refreshing.

A lesson to JK Rowling, Apple, Samsung etc on how organisations can behave without filing suit after suit.

Looks like my JD consumption is about to increase
