I noticed the same thing when I first saw the commercial too. looks like they took a computer and overlayed about 4 versions of the play over the top of the big one, and of course, changed the name. But it seems pretty clear that's where they got it.

I've seen that commercial 3 times and always tried to get a look at that playbook page. I knew I had seen it on here before but wasn't sure in what capacity.
Congrats to Bruce!
Sidenote; is there a more overused football phrase than "Blue 42" where television and movies are concerned?

More importantly, does anyone have the safety reads for "42 Blue Trick Car Blitz'?

You at least have to get a case of beer as payment!

I'm with seagull73. Bruce Eien should have some royalties from Budweiser coming his way. That would be huge.

I would write Bud Light along with the advertising agency they used, DDB Chicago. It's pretty inarguable where it came from.

It's not all about the $$$, but you could look into getting some serious $$$. I honestly found it wrong, that they would even use it and try to make it look as if it was their own........ At least that is how I felt when I first saw it a couple weeks back. Too funny!  |

At least that is how I felt when I first saw it a couple weeks back. Too funny! I'm a lawyer, but not a copyright lawyer, so FWIW. Just because you drew something up, doesn't mean you own it. It's without question that Coach Eien doesn't on the plays, or the play concepts on his sight...in fact he credits them to the different coaches in each section. I guess there's a way he could copyright what's on his site in some way, but I don't think that's been done. I'll explain it the way a law school prof. told us, in trying to just gloss over basic copyright law. "You can't draw a picture of a mouse, and copyright that, but if you draw a unique mouse, and give it a name, like Mickey, then you may be able to copyright it, if it's sufficiently unique from other drawn mice". Coach Eien, if you're of a mind to try to see if someone has infringed or wrongfully used on something that is rightfully yours, see a lawyer that deals in Copyrights, as well as intellectual property. My first legal instinct is to tell you that you don't own the concepts, and the drawings are not unique enough to be yours exclusively, especially in light of the fact that they are there for public consumption, and credited to other coaches anyway. Nothing wrong with exploring your rights, and, in fact, I'd advise it. |
