Sydney Gifford

So she was like, you know what? Whatever. I'm just going to keep doing my job. And something like 10 months after the blocking, followers of Sydney's started to come to her and say, hey, there's a woman who's making content just like yours. And I actually thought she was you until I looked at the name.

And that woman was Alyssa, this person that she had met a few times and had had this encounter with.

So first, Sidney takes all of her social media posts and registers them with the copyright office, which is a pretty rare thing for influencers to do. It's not really a normal thing. So now she has all of her posts. She can start sending cease and desist letters to Alyssa. She hires an attorney and says, basically, you know, your content is infringing on my copyright. Like, you need to stop this.

And this goes on for a little bit before the actual suit is filed. That happened last spring. And the suit has a lot of different things in it. There's obviously what we just talked about, the claim that you making similar videos and photos, though not identical, similar content is infringing on my copyright. That's a novel claim. What does Alyssa say in response to this?

What does Alyssa say in response to this?

Is she taking it seriously? Absolutely. I think she was shocked when she learned she was being sued. She denies ever copying Sidney. She says, I didn't even think about this person until I had started getting these cease and desist. I was not copying her on the claim that they look alike. I should note that Sydney is a white Hispanic woman and Alyssa is a black Latina woman.

And so Alyssa's legal response to this claim is, well, we don't look alike. We are two different races and nobody could confuse us. So there's a whole different, you know, Alyssa basically is saying like everything that I'm doing is totally legal and fine. And moreover, this is just the way that influencer content looks. This is the genre of clean girl. These are sort of the tropes of that genre.

And nothing either of us are doing is unique. I thought that was a really funny response. Like both of us are basic. Yeah.
