I'm starting to like Shia Labeouf. I hope he won't disappear up his own rear end entirely, though.

I think we're 3 weeks (a month tops) from him pulling a Jason Russell.

This is actually a kind of funny experiment. I'm curious as to what the legal result will be, but I'm glad I'm not the one doing it.

Quite simply, Starbucks will have them shut down pretty rapidly because fair use doesn't work that way. Fair use exceptions for trademarks are really, really limited, and even if it worked the same as as fair use for copyright it still wouldn't protect them because it's pretty clearly not a criticism, comment or news report, or being used for teaching, scholarship or research.

It's teaching people how not to use fair use, thus making it fair use. Q.E.D. :pseudo:

Given the fact that he took the same pauses and even took a sip of water when Cantona did in the original, I doubt he was attempting to pass it off as his own work.

He got caught plagiarizing someone else's work and all of a sudden it's all part of "performance art" where he has decided to plagiarize everything he does, and you just know he's doing this poo poo to salvage a shred of artistic integrity because he got busted the first time.

I don't really care who he quotes, I saw through this ruse from the very beginning.

I don't think it's supposed to be fake performance art, but fake protest of intellectual property law.
