Reaction to the Fine Brother's "React" Youtube controversy

Well, from my read that's much worse.

I'm sorry, that's apparently wrong, it's been reported that they did go around the internet shutting down videos.

If you're correct (I note that on their video they use the word copyright time and again to explain exactly what they DIDN'T copyright, leading to the inference that they have a copyright), then they got a permanent trademark for a format of show that they didn't create, a format that's quite popular and ubiquitous.
React videos are something that's been around since the 60's. Ever hear of Candid Camera? It's a bit like trademarking 'news programs' and anyone who makes 'news' or calls their video 'news' now has to beg for permission-or like trademarking 'talks' videos. They didn't invent this format, they aren't the only creators of this content, they are simply trying to grasp control over this content. Eventually they'll likely require payment for that permission and they'll claim it's to cover costs until it's clear that it's not.

No matter what the reality of the situation is, they screwed up and killed their company with this internet power grab...and I think they deserve go out of business. What a terrible, unnecessary idea to boost their youtube channel.

Because they did not get a *copyright*!!!
They got a trademark! A trademark for their PRODUCT.
IT'S A HUGE FUCKING DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A TRADEMARK AND A COPYRIGHT!
They did not go around internet shutting down any other videos! They did not claim to own anybody else videos! They stated as such!

They got a trademark for their shows. A very specific format of shows!

Just like Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune have trademarks for those shows to allow them to be licensed else and be named like that. However, these shows do not own the concept of a quiz show or a letter guessing show in a different format.

This is not any different.

Sweet Zombie Jesus! I had not heard about what they're parodying.
The Fine bro's think they 'own' 'react' videos? How did they ever get a copyright to something that's ubiquitous as reaction videos. That's completely insane and not what copyright laws are intended for.
I feel like they need to get a slap down from, I dunno, lets say the creators of candid camera? Or maybe 'kids say the darndest things'?

Good bye Fine Brothers. I hope you enjoyed having a company, because I'm fairly certain you've just destroyed it.

This is the stupidest media coverage of the gun issue since they put a revolver in a toy chest at a school and wondered to themselves, "Will any of the children play with it?" If they want to influence legislation with candid camera gags then go ahead and try. It didn't work for James O'Keefe and it won't work here, either.
