S73 PT#5: I'm Gonna Win The Cupyright
#80

As the international tournament drew near, the press sought the thoughts of Fry's young team. The kids' responses were predictably heartwarming and endearing, reflecting their innocence and eagerness. However, a twist emerged when the team's captain declared, "I'm gonna win the cup" during his interview. This innocent but ambitious statement led to a copyright lawsuit filed by @micool132, who claimed to hold a trademark for the phrase in professional hockey. In response to the lawsuit, Fry's legal defense revolved around several key arguments. First, they contended that the phrase, "I'm gonna win the cup," was a common expression used in various contexts and was not specific to @micool132's trademark. Furthermore, the phrase lacked specificity and unique association with @micool132's brand, making it a generic expression. Importantly, Fry pointed out that his youth team was not in direct commercial competition with @micool132's professional hockey endeavors, as the phrase was used in an entirely different context. Lastly, Fry emphasized the importance of freedom of expression and the innocence of a child's statement, arguing that it was an inappropriate target for a copyright lawsuit.
