Katy Perry's Left Shark Pissing Match

Because the gaming world often has legal pissing matches, I thought that this latest Katy Perry's Super Bowl Left Shark pissing match was amusing. It's even instructive about the specious nature of cease-and-desist-letters and intellectual property claims. People often "claim" more than they have. In the end, these issues aren't cut-and-dry. It's often a game-of-chicken, king-of-the-mountain, or bluffing over a big pile of poker chips with a pair of two's to see who'll blink first or who'll put up or shut up with a legal filing and litigation war chest by calling the other side's hand. Check out the letters written in the below links.

I would think the NFL would have rights over this, if anybody.

Anyway, seems like a big down-side move for Katy Perry in terms of image.

When I first started hearing about Left Shark, I thought it was a bizarre euphemism for one of Katy Perry's breasts. I ignored the Super Bowl this year due to the antics of Bill Belicheat. I also ignore Major League Baseball and the Olympics for similar reasons.

She'll lose. His work of art (sculpture) is an original work. If it's based off of something, that makes it no less an original work.

The problem is that he CALLED it Katy Perry Left Shark. He could've just called it Super Shark or something and tagged it Katy Perry, Left Shark, Super Bowl for SEO's to find and he'd have avoided all of this.

Was it stage left shark or house left shark?

Left Shark is the shark closest to Katy Perry's left breast.
