Fashion empire Louis Vuitton has lost its legal suit against movie company Warner Bros. They had filed for the suit themselves because they were not happy with the use of a (fake) Louis Vuitton shoulder bag in the movie The Hangover II.
In one of the scenes Zach Galifianakis wears a (fake) shoulder bag from the brand and pronounces its name wrong. Louis Vuitton does not approve of the scene because it would mock the brand and the movie itself would supposedly promote the black market.
The judge did not agree. He called the scene "funny" and "ironic" because Zach pronounces the name of his luxury brand bag wrong: "Lewis Vuitton" instead of 'Louis Vuitton'.
What do you think? Is okay for movies to use a brand's name like this or not?
