I mean I understand they're all copyrights, but c'mon man, there's logos, unlicensed merch, go habs go, and so on plastered all over montreal. Heck, even in New Brunswick and I'm sure many other provinces you see stuff like this. I enjoyed a comment on one website I've seen though. "They should walk through Vancouver. They could sue enough people to make the Thrashers profitable!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure a legal fight wouldn't go over very well either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canuck-Man Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 http://www.thefours.com/about.html The Fours is a restaurant that has Boston Bruins' logo all over in the restaurant and named several of their food items after players, you can see the menu here: http://www.thefours.com/food.html The Car Dealer in Vancouver & Restaurant in Montreal are peons compared to the "Copyright" violations this place must have going on. There's nothing on the site that specifies that it's an "Official" restaurant of the Boston Bruins or even an affiliate. >_> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's probably what it's all about, too. I love the priorities of the NHL: let's not worry about the rash of concussion injuries and head shots but we ought to make darned sure nobody visibly supports their hockey team without paying for it.

BLAMEITONPKSUBBAN Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 You know, I think the Habs organization told the NHL about the restaurant. Otherwise, how could those guys in New York even know about it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct me if I am wrong,,,,,but didn't the NHL issue a warning or something to a radio station that had a promotion wherein a car was painted with another teams logo, and invited contestants to smash the car with a sledgehammer. I only heard this once tho, so I am not sure about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could sue enough people to make the Thrashers profitable!" Omg, I agree with you... This is getting ridiculous. Even our city buses for the last few years (that I've noticed), have posted in their ticker (where they post the route #) Go Habs Go! Ok, STM (Montreal public transit) didn't post a picture of a driver wearing a habs jersey, but really, the restaurant owner was simply showing support. Like him, I wonder why the league singled out his restaurant. In my shop, I placed a Habs logo in our front window to show support during the 1st round. Of all the cities who have a NHL team, this was the only business to have their local teams logo in their window?!? I live close to Cournoyer's old bar. It has always been a sports bar and they always have Habs logo's in their windows. Once again, it wasn't a pic of one of their waitresses wearing a Habs jersey, but still. This is going to make me think twice before showing support for our habs in the future. Guess bettman needs or wants a new car for one of his kids. What this restaurant owner did, was print up a banner with an employee wearing a jersey. Bit of a gray area I admit, it is an advertisement, I'm sure he's not the first nor the last. To demand almost $90 000 is pushing it. The league could've sent him a letter (legal)asking him to change it and if he refused, then proceed with charges.

I dont understadn what the problem is entirely. If you live in Montreal a fair chunk of people are going to support montreal, if you live in Vancouver alot of people will support Vancouver. I'm sure they spend alot of money on merchandise, and other NHL material. Whats the problem with printing up a picture of a logo to show you proudly support a team? I sometimes wonder if its going to get to the point where if I buy a jersey with my own name on it Ill get in legal trouble for something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
