Other people are saying they aren’t making money off of this, but free advertising In a humerus way means they are.
No the real reason is that big companies like Jack Daniel’s have lawyers on their payroll who need to justify their existence. Plus suing the other company is also providing additional advertising for Jack Daniel’s cause it gets their name in the headlines.
