BEYONCE SENDS LAWYERS TO ETSY.COM, THREATENS THEM TO STOP USING HER NAME

<p>Ya&&num;8217&semi;ll know the website Etsy&period;com&quest; I normally go on there to find cute African printed garments and other unique items&comma; it&&num;8217&semi;s like an Amazon meets Pinterest kind of website&comma; you can virtually find any trendy thing on there&period; Well Beyonce has now caught wind of the website using her name and her likeness and she&&num;8217&semi;s saying cut it out&excl;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>If you were to type in Beyonce&&num;8217&semi;s name into Etsy&&num;8217&semi;s search engine more than four thousand items pop up including&comma; sweater&comma; tanks&comma; coffee mugs&comma; framed pictures&comma; and even candles all priced around twenty bucks or below&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>According to TMZ&comma; the &&num;8220&semi;Queen of the Beyhive&&num;8221&semi; isn’t too fond of the website using her image and she reportedly had her lawyers threaten the website to take down the items&period; She doesn&&num;8217&semi;t even want the site using the term &&num;8220&semi;Feyoncé&&num;8221&semi; because the word down to the accent over the e is still extremely close to her name&period; Some items were taken down but there are still much more items left on the site with her name or likeness on it&comma; they better stop playing and get to it I heard Beyonce don&&num;8217&semi;t play&excl;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>If you ask me some of these things are pretty dope stuff &lpar; I don&&num;8217&semi;t know about the candle though I think it&&num;8217&semi;s a bit much&rpar;&comma; but I&&num;8217&semi;m actually thinking about shopping for some of those items while they last&excl;  I mean as long as the vendors aren&&num;8217&semi;t portraying her in a bad light there isn&&num;8217&semi;t any harm done&comma; but then again she would probably want the coins off of anything making money using her name&period; What do you think is Bey doing too much&quest; Check out some of the items below&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p><a href&equals;"&sol;wp-content&sol;uploads&sol;2015&sol;01&sol;photo-5&period;jpg"><img class&equals;"alignnone size-medium wp-image-4699" src&equals;"&sol;wp-content&sol;uploads&sol;2015&sol;01&sol;photo-5-300x479&period;jpg" alt&equals;"photo &lpar;5&rpar;" width&equals;"188" height&equals;"300" &sol;><&sol;a><&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>&nbsp&semi;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p><a href&equals;"&sol;wp-content&sol;uploads&sol;2015&sol;01&sol;beyonce-sweater&period;jpg"><img class&equals;"alignnone size-medium wp-image-4692" src&equals;"&sol;wp-content&sol;uploads&sol;2015&sol;01&sol;beyonce-sweater-300x238&period;jpg" alt&equals;"beyonce sweater" width&equals;"300" height&equals;"238" &sol;><&sol;a><&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>&nbsp&semi;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p><a href&equals;"&sol;wp-content&sol;uploads&sol;2015&sol;01&sol;beyonce-pic&period;jpg"><img class&equals;"alignnone size-medium wp-image-4694" src&equals;"&sol;wp-content&sol;uploads&sol;2015&sol;01&sol;beyonce-pic-300x238&period;jpg" alt&equals;"beyonce pic" width&equals;"300" height&equals;"238" &sol;><&sol;a><&sol;p>&NewLine;<p><a href&equals;"&sol;wp-content&sol;uploads&sol;2015&sol;01&sol;beyonce-cup&period;jpg"><img class&equals;"alignnone size-medium wp-image-4695" src&equals;"&sol;wp-content&sol;uploads&sol;2015&sol;01&sol;beyonce-cup-300x238&period;jpg" alt&equals;"beyonce cup" width&equals;"300" height&equals;"238" &sol;><&sol;a><&sol;p>&NewLine;<p><a href&equals;"&sol;wp-content&sol;uploads&sol;2015&sol;01&sol;feyonce-cup&period;jpg"><img class&equals;"alignnone size-medium wp-image-4696" src&equals;"&sol;wp-content&sol;uploads&sol;2015&sol;01&sol;feyonce-cup-300x238&period;jpg" alt&equals;"feyonce cup" width&equals;"300" height&equals;"238" &sol;><&sol;a><&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>&nbsp&semi;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>SOURCES SITED&colon;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>TMZ&period;COM &comma;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p><span style&equals;"font-size&colon;
