Heads Up on Color Choices

Just in case you didn’t know, Facer has joined forces with the Barbie franchise. They are now deleting anything that is pink and purple as a copyright infringement of Barbie. I lost a 3 year old watchface because of their copyright bots. I have contested it, (Ticket #117001), but knowing how @Facer_Official is at replying on stuff like this I don’t expect to hear anything back from it. Just so you know what watchface got removed it was called “Girls Childrens Watch” and looks like the picture below. I also have a boy’s version in blue with black text that hasn’t been bothered.

I got the email on 2023/7/23 so their comment of it being posted on the 24th is wrong. I posted that watchface in late 2019 or very early 2020.

I have seen it on Facebook group.
Some are cute faces that just look like generic digitals with pink frame, now special, because of the word Barbie on them.
I cant remember having pink faces related to children, so hopefully safe for now :slight_smile:

Yeah . That Brand have really Pushed the Boat Out . You would think since they are All Premium they would have Put some interactives on them Like Theme Colour . Oh no Sorry , No one would want those Colours on their Barbie Watch .

It’s a fact of life. Honest people have to suffer because people who should know better, in this case regarding copyright infringement, try to take advantage. I don’t blame Facer. Marvin just needs a few tweaks. It’s probably his first day with the pink thing.

Now I’m afraid to use blue color.

There was a movie “The Big Blue”. Oh, can I use “big”? Can I use “the”?

It just went too far.

This picture is Anish Kapoor’s comment to Peter Semple banning him from using his PINK . Kapoor had registered the Blackest Black called VANTABLACK . Peter Is another Artist who took exception . I don’t know if anything ever got to Court .
Whatever you do never use the word THE in your description or the Colour #ccff00 on your Face .

Just knocked up a pink face but not put the word pink anywhere in the title or description. Will see how long it lasts.

I did not have pink, Barbie, movie or anything in mine other than time, weather and battery. I think it got busted because of the pink background and purple text. If @Facer_Official would get around to discussing this with me instead of staying silent, we would all know for sure…

So what we are saying is there are a few Forbidden colours . Still we can have a bit of Fun there are 16 Million .

Ya, but 1 million of the 16 have a bit of PINK in the color. Before long we may be limited to black and white faces only.:thinking:

So now if a color is used in a popular movie we can’t use that color in our watch faces?

That is a bunch of CR*P

The facer litigators have gone mad and insane.

You can’t copyright a color.

But you CAN copyright the name of a color.

So if you’re not naming the name of the color and it’s pink and you’re using pink you’re not infringing on the copyright. I have a watch that’s pink it hasn’t been taken down and I don’t think your watch had the name of a copyrighted color.

I’m sorry though I don’t understand because pink is pink and there’s lots of shades of pink, go to any paint store I guarantee you they have pink that matches what’s in the Barbie movie and I doubt there’s any lawsuits going on there from disney.

I think it’s a bit over the top taking your watch off the available list to download or to synchronize with.

Also, if they ever manage to stop the endless stream of copyrighted/intellectual property from Disney/Marvel etc, etc. that is uploaded here on a daily basis, then I might start to take this place seriously. :smiley:

Intrestingly I think it is the Colour combination . Also it us more about the Launch of the Barbie Watch Brand . The Work is so inane I think Facer were frightened that thier new Partner might be upstaged . I think we should to a Fresh Faces Bomb using the colours . Mine is ready and I might just go for the Inversion . We just need to coordinate it . I will take my lead from @mrantisocialguy .

I think they will polish their bot filter gradually to give less false alarms.
Othervise it would be like guessing what people did not write down somewhere yet
