2019-08-29 - The LEGO Group: Unauthorized Use of the LEGO Group Intellectual Property - kiwifarms.net [Case #652509]

[Jeffrey Epstein]

We sharpened our autism with YOUR bricks! You are fighting your own diabolical creation!

 

[Adamska]

To quote a famously depressed retarded person who plays map games: "Denmark doesn't exist."

In short, fuck off Lego, you're overpriced shit only manchildren sperg about. I can get the same quality shit for 1/10th of the price and not have to worry about you playing grab-ass with broken and dishonest Disney.

Might be a decent chance to point out that Lego pissed off a shitton of German fans this year.
There's a Youtuber, who's very popular amongst Germans, who makes videos on new Lego sets and shares his opinions as a trader specialized in Lego-stuff. Usually, he's very snarky and sarcastically pointing out the stupidity of current Lego and lo and behold, they slapped a cease and desist on him over his store's logo looking somewhat like a Lego-brick. Dude changed his logo, ended the Lego-exclusive contract and now sells all kinds of Lego-like products (such as Cobi and the various chinese knockoffs) and he also makes videos about them, now, where he points out what sets are good, how they compare to Lego (usually remarking on how little they cost and what neat features they offer that Lego doesn't) and he's really taking the piss out of Lego.

Yeah... Fans didn't take too kindly to that and support the Youtuber. Lego then tried to save face by offering the Youtuber to keep his logo, but it's way too late for that.
The point is, the Lego legal department is run by absolute mongoloids, who have no fucking clue how stupid they act or how bad it makes them look, so this newest chapter of impotent threats is just icing on the cake.

Lego will just get back at us by releasing Kiwi Farms playset.

It'll just be a lame re-packaging of the 4cent Garbage Building, I fear.

Ugh, Lego Star Wars is some of the most uninspiring model sets out there. But it sells because it's got Star Wars on it.

When I was just a wee squealer, I was into the Lego Space M-Tron and Blacktron II lines. They were all kinds of crazy awesome. The M-Trons had a yuge six-wheeled mining crawler with a magnetic crane, rear steering, and so forth, while the Blacktron II line had cool modular craft including a dropship that when the lid opened a ramp would come down and a pair of moon buggies would roll out.

Sigh. I wonder where all my bricks are.

The nostalgia is overwhelming. I had that Blacktron II starship, too. It was the shit.
Lego used to be so great, but nowadays, they don't even have a pirate ship, train, construction site or castle set. Wtf.

Nothing is worse than a billion dollar company pretending to be down to earth and friendly. Some overpaid lawyer wrote that shit.

Maybe that's something to be added to the reply in the future. "Your impotent threats are ridiculous and stupid, just be happy you get a fortune merely reading this reply, you won't get anything else."

Someone's looking for lego porn....

Hoo. Boy.

I didn't catch this. I wonder if Disney is next.

Here's to the next thread in About 36 hours.

Yeah... Fans didn't take too kindly to that.

This story is great. Lego should be shit on at every turn for the overpricing of their cheap shit. In the age of 3d printing, you can't charge a fortune for plastic and expect to keep a stranglehold on the market.

Literally anybody with a printer can actually pirate your products.

 

[sperginity]

Not one fucking kraggle joke? are you shitting me?

Also- everyone saying lego is not the superior building system is a god damn liar.

Does this mother fucker have anything else to do? How did he find he's way to some obscure internet forum to complain about a manchild critiquing a child's toy?

many of the lolcows yearn for a way to get KF in trouble with an authority figure, any authority figure. I really wouldn't doubt that one of the more autistic cows reported the post to lego corporate somehow. "Surely THIS will be the end of the kiwi farms!"

 

[Serenity Moon]

Imagine

Don't take it down, it's not your fault their shit leaked

Our Sweet Null would never take down some pictures for a shitty block company for autists

 

[UQ 770]

So they basically admitted that this stuff is leaked? Considering I haven't walked past a toy aisile in like five years I wouldn't have even realized those images were leaks if nobody told me, I just assumed those were the current wave of sets or whatever.

 

[AnOminous]

Nothing is worse than a billion dollar company pretending to be down to earth and friendly. Some overpaid lawyer wrote that shit.

Companies took a lot of bad PR from sending hyperaggressive, insulting trademark letters on marginal things they weren't ever going to sue about and smarter companies try not to be utter dicks about this kind of letter any more. So when they do, they're either being retarded or they really are saying they're going to sue if you don't knock off whatever they're complaining about.

There is absolutely no need for lawyers to be complete dicks in everything they do and it's actually bad practice.

 

[Antipathy]

Along with my posts and yours, I've also seen posts by @RomanesEuntDomus and @Stab You in the Back pop up a lot in all sorts of place. Seems the Griefing thread is making the rounds. Can't wait till Null gets that special letter from Disney.

Damn, I guess I'm not popular yet.

Is it too many words?

 

[beautiful person]

Lego vs Kiwifarms is peak autism

 

[TerribleIdeas™]

I'd like to enlist in the inevitable war against the Lego Company, General @Null .

Found the AnCap, but I'm actually down for storming the Lego HQ.

 

[Red Hood]

Get them in touch with CWC. Sonichu-themed Lego sets and DIY medallions would be all the rage next Chris-mas.

Is this the beginning of a lego thread? They really are as exceptional as their fan base.

 

[TherapyMan]

They more or less say what @Null said.



"We know this is bullshit so please put up with this bullshit letter we're contractually obligated to send even though it will accomplish exactly fucking nothing."

The UTSA requires a company to take reasonable efforts to protect a trade secret's secrecy. If LEGO is going to pursue litigation regarding the misappropriation of its trade secrets by whoever initially leaked those LEGO sets, it probably wants to demonstrate that it made reasonable attempts to protect their secrecy by requesting the removal of leaked content. I don't think whoever wrote that letter really expected Null to take down the content and is just performing his or her due diligence.

Don't really understand the anger here.

I had these. They were fucking brilliant

> mfw i get sent a cease and desist from one of the most popular toy companies of all time because of a post made on my internet forum

Lego used to own the market - hell, they used to be the market!
But at some point, they replaced people who knew the product and the customer with random shitheads who have no clue what made Lego famous... and as I said, there's no castle, no pirate ship, no construction site sets, no trains, no planes, nothing.
Lego has hit a massive slump in recent years and is losing to Cobi and chinese knockoffs and all they would have to do to retain their position as market leader would be to shit out a single set with, say, a construction crane or race cars or whatever. Instead, they release shit like a pink-colored go-kart racetrack exclusively marketed to girls... not even kidding.
Lego is a lolcow company and now they try to intimidate Null over a user posting a couple images. This is absolutely absurd.

 

[moocow]

Preposterous. The Erector Set is the superior building platform. Lego can keep their precious plastic squares. Real men build working power tools with their construction sets.

So essentially, they're like the Sega of toy companies, and Lego is their Sonic. How sad.
