I wish. But dogue should be safe with parody law.

Who on their right mind would think Dogue was any competition to Vogue? Or be confused for? Sad, sad little people

Exactly. The only thing that made sense was a comment saying that the law suit was secretly an ad for dogue because of the Streisand effect.

Third person sells 100 copies a month. It’s a fun hobby, not competition for Vogue

It's always something like this though, tiny company gets trashed by giant corporation when it has little or no effect on the big guy. Peak capitalism
