OK - now closing arguments in Hermes v. Mason Rothschild about #MetaBirkins. Inner City Press has been covering the case and trial and will live tweet, thread below

Counsel: Mr. Rothschild made clear in the Discord channel to say he was responsible for #MetaBirkins, anyone could message him. He polled his members what to do next with his art project. Mr. Rothschild when he saw the project misattributed, he reached out
Counsel: Mr. Rothschild could have charged more for the #MetaBirkins. It was an artistic experiment. He wanted to see what kind of value people would ascribe to these two dimensional pictures.
Counsel: It is unlikely that people who would pay thousands of dollars on bags would be confused these #MetaBirkins were from Hermes. He has a Constitutional right to create his MetaBirkins art work, and to make money from, as long as he doesn't mislead people
Counsel: Our Constitution is not self-enforcing. It is up to you, to protect the First Amendment. Thank you so much.
