Rihanna's rip off (Photo comparison credit: TMZ)
Rihanna has been publicly slammed by jewelry
company, Coronet Diamonds, for stealing their copyrighted and
trademarked logo and ad, for use on one of her projects. According
to TMZ, Coronet Diamonds sent Rihanna a cease and desist letter
regarding her infringing conduct. They demanded she apologize for
the theft, but she has refused to do so.
Once again, Rihanna is showing the whole world she
is a thief, who does not care about other people's property rights.
Rihanna has been sued several times for copyright infringement with
claims of the same in the pre-filing stage, backing up at her record
label. Rihanna's label has struggled to find new material for her
album, that has suffered repeated delays, with two pre-release songs
being slammed by the public (a rip off sounding track that steals
from Drake and a Paul McCartney and Kanye West collaboration being
panned online as wack). For more on Rihanna's brazen, illegal acts
of intellectual property theft, see article links below.
