There are most definitely text versions of what Audible is selling. and if a user wants to read along then that’s a potential sale for the publisher.

I’m on Audible’s side on this one, even though I think the feature is stupid. The publisher is getting their cut one way or the other. You can’t get the captions without buying a copy of the book and you can’t keep the captions. Did the publishing companies have any problem with Kindle’s text-to-speech thing? I don’t…

Eh, not really. First of all, it’s basically just a cease-and-desist letter. Despite being very official-looking it’s really just a non-binding warning that they might take further action.

You can 100% prevent someone from doing that. Lawyer here. You cannot use someone else’s trademarked product in your commercial ad.  

Oh dang, it went over my head that this guy is using his IG feed to advertise his own products using Ferrari for free brand recognition. Thanks for drawing my attention to that, I was in the “lolz Ferrari,” camp but I’m switching sides. Totally taking advantage of Ferrari’s branding in this new light

there’s no way in Hell it can stop somebody from taking a picture of his own car, even for commercial purposes.

You are are correct. Videos, as entertainment, use props like Ferrari all the time. That entertainment also serves to build a brand - the band, or singer/rapper whatever - but it does so inadvertantly. This fellow is using Ferrari as a prop to sell his wares, on an Instagram account.

Are those his shoes in the sense of shoes he's in the business of selling? I foolishly read that caption as them just being his personal pair of shoes. 

“they never asked permission and even if they DID we never in a millions years would have approved of that horse shit”

If a progressive insurance commercial has to put duct tape over a chevy logo then Ferrari has every right to sue this crappy company for the family farm over this!

Maybe it’s different in Europe, but in the US companies are actually required to protect their trademarks. It doesn’t matter if it’s a church, local little league or another competing company, you have to defend unauthorized use of your trademark or risk losing it. Maybe they are wrong and just going overboard, but…

Er, pretty sure it is the ‘for commercial purposes’ that is the problem.
I paid $8.95 for a tape of AC/DC’s album, The Razor’s Edge. I can’t advertise some other product with Thunderstruck playing in the background unless I pay the royalty for EACH TIME it is impressed.
Everyone runs into this. Reality Kings had to go…

Essentially, the photo he took would be legal if he didn’t have a financial incentive to display the shoes on a ferrari with the ferrari logo prominently visible.

Everyone is going LOL FERRARI but that is exactly is what is going on here. He is using a Ferrari logo in what amounts to an advertisement for his shoes.

Thats a pathetically snarky comment you wrote yourself. Especially considering it isnt just kids that cant take care of their switch that are suffering from it. Get off your high horse champ, your brand worship is telling. 

Its funny how wrong you are. No amount of canned air will magically add back the graphite contact that gets rubbed off and causes the drift... Its a temporary fix, but it always returns.

Dust you say?!?!?

The controllers are fine. There’s some dust or dirt that got inside them.

Man, you’re so smart, of course not one person out of all the people experiencing this issue have tried to fix it with simple remedies. Or have tried cleaning it after taking it apart.  They’ve all just sat around and complained without researching the problem.
