LeBron James’ company challenges Alabama football over barbershop videos
LJ sent a letter to Alabama’s football program expressing a concern over possible copyright infringement regarding a series of online videos capturing typical barbershop conversations, according to ESPN. Alabama shared a tease for the first episode of it’s “Shop Talk” on Twitter recently, and it was quickly met with a letter from James’ multimedia company, Uninterrupted.
"There's been at least 20 barbershop-type things I've seen on TV," Saban said. "I didn't know anybody owned that. I didn't know he had one. I'm sorry that anybody could offended by something that we were just having fun with. I enjoyed it. And we're going to continue to do it."
LeBron James responds to Nick Saban, says lawyers will handle dispute
A few hours after Nick Saban said the Crimson Tide's "Shop Talk" web series wouldn't bow to pressure from the NBA star's copyright infringement claim, James answered back. Speaking with reporters after the Cleveland Cavs' 112-106 win over Toronto, James was asked about Saban saying Alabama's show would go on despite a letter from James' legal team.
"That's exactly what I would think he would say," James told reporters Tuesday night. "But I built UNINTERRUPTED for a reason, for us athletes to have a platform to be able to speak your mind about whatever we want to talk about."
"I respect him as a coach," James said Tuesday night, "but I'll be damned if I allow someone to use our platform or try to do the same thing we're doing and just think it's OK.
"The lawyers will figure it out."
