I guess that asking the courts to dismiss what is basically blackmail is "frivolous". Oh, you're right, they aren't paying a ton of money to lawyers so that they can do it instead... yeah, them defense stealers are destroying the lawyering business!

It doesn't cost Mike money to make all those "fake" t-shirts.
It also gets additional advertisement for the site.
It could be argued that the more people buy the "fake" t-shirts, less people will buy the real ones. Which is silly, since the only people that are going to buy the real ones anyway are those who want to support this site and get a real souvenir (not even taking into account production quality).
The only other complaint could be, that people could think Mike sells low quality products while it's another company that is doing it. Which is, I think, one of the things that Consumer Confusion covers... the other "confusion" which is the one that most people flaunt, would be people actually believing they're buying the website.
Re: Its called "Playing by the rules", ALL the rules and laws.
Yes, whatever you do, never try to change the rules! Or the game!
The rules are forever! Trying to change them is evil! You either play by the rules, or you don't play the game! You don't like the rules of living? Then stop living! Yeah!
People pay for what they want to pay. I would like that people paid me for scratching my ass, but apparently, there is not a lot of demand of ass-scratch-watching business. If people don't want to pay artists an unlimited amount of money for selling the same product over and over at zero cost (per copy) then tough luck. They can always get a real job, hippies!
ZOMG people wish one thing, and don't wish some other thing? Hypocrisy dude.
I wish to eat a sandwich, but I don't wish for people to step on my foot. I guess I'm an hypocrite. I should either wish everything, or not wish for everything.
Shouldn't they be called something else, instead of labels? For what I know, a "label" is something that gets slapped on your shiny plastic disc, like "Warner" or "Sony" or whatever, making them owners of your product somehow.
If you produce your own stuff and subcontract the so-called "labels", they're just services, and they shouldn't get a say on what brand name is on your shiny plastic disc.
