3D Printed Left Shark from Katy Perry's Halftime performance

[BodaciousAcquisition]

Although those are some generic looking sharks, Katy Perry's lawyers are right.

Without the show, without Katy Perry nobody would have cared for those things in the first place.

Her team build it and she is the one who made it famous and brought it to the public thus holding the automatic “intellectual property” on it, regardless of how generic or dull it may seem.

So it is obvious that everybody who wants to use this popularity for his personal gain gets a cease and desist letter. She is the license holder so nobody except her is allowed to make “money” with it.

I don't know why so many people are struggling with this, if its not your idea / work don't sell it, unless you've asked the copyright holder for a license.

If you cannot get a license, build models from your own ideas and make it popular.

It's really that SIMPLE.
