While I'm amused, some of my colleagues were quite offended by this.

Our product manager, who wrote the original copy on Arc, had this comment upon seeing this:

"They actually copied our entire developer application form, I realized that because I was thinking, man they really wrote these like how I would talk in real life, it’s because I came up with all the wording and they just copied them verbatim…….well, they swapped out “cup of joe” for “cup of coffee”. This is highly upsetting"

You have IP rights around your video and copy but you're not in the business of selling videos and copy. You have X amount of dollars, Y amount of time- how much of that do you want to spend on pursuing the outrageous behavior of psychopaths, which itself is an unlimited resource?

You have to deliver a level of excellence which distinguishes you from all other entrants, including these unworthies. Supposedly you know how you're going to do that in a way which is defensible or at least very hard to duplicate. That implies there's something like a wicked problem at the heart of your business model which you know how to solve or you can deal with better than anyone else.

Failing that you're a commodity.
