Toho Sues Subway For Godzilla Commercial

To me it is more like a spoof instead of a rip-off. I am not sure whether any copyright is infringed.

LOL Sueing for an obvious parody. I guess TOHO isn’t doing so well.

This comes as a surprise….TOHO must be desperate for some money hahahaha.

Ok first of all it isn’t even Subways fault. The only ones that are at any fault is the ones making the commercials. And for now just to be sueing about this, I mean hello Toho why don’t you start watching more tv and see all the other crap first before going out on others. I mean what the heck?
So ridiculous, your not the only one who gets these problems.

For those of you that think that there is no problem with subway highjacking godzilla to basically endorse their own product, would you feel the same if burgur king dressed someone up like ronald mcdonald and had him endorsing burger king. This is not by any means fair use, fair use relates to when copyrighted material is used in an educational manner, an example of this would be if your local news were to do a segment on the upcomming godzilla movie and they showed an image of godzilla to acompany the story. Likewise this falls quite short of the qualifications to be considered parody. What we are dealing with is an advertisement which delibratly portrays godzilla doing what godzilla allways does (destroying a japanese city) just before he stops to endorse a subway product. Are you kidding me peaple? if this isnt copyright infringement then what is?
