The news that luxury goods maker Louis Vuitton has won a lawsuit that alleged a Britney Spears music video violated counterfeiting laws by showcasing a pink Vuitton-upholstered dashboard, is a perfect example. In the opening scenes of the video, A CGI slimmed down Spears appears in the driver's seat of a hot pink Hummer floating on clouds.
One shot shows fingers drumming on a dashboard covered with what looks like Vuitton's "Cherry Blossoms" design: Embossed with the "LV" logo. That's a no-no, and it's going to cost Sony and MTV a $117,000 fine each.
But when you think about Britney's current driving ban when with the kids, and all the other dramas she's putting herself through, If I was Louis Vuitton, or even Hummer, for that matter. I would want to be absolutely sure she was not associated with my products in any way, shape or form!
