The 'beige Amazon influencer' lawsuit is headed for dismissal
Briefly

A recent legal dispute between two Amazon influencers, Sydney Nicole Sloneker and Alyssa Sheil, has concluded as both parties have asked for a dismissal of the case. Initially filed over a year ago, the lawsuit gained attention for its potential to redefine copyright laws within the influencer industry. The case involved allegations of copyright infringement, trade dress infringement, and misappropriation of likeness, focusing on their strikingly similar aesthetic. Ultimately, the case was significant in highlighting the complexities of influencer content rights, but it will not proceed to trial as both parties have opted to drop their claims.
The legal battle between two Amazon influencers with unsettlingly similar styles and vibes is nearing resolution. On Wednesday the two influencers asked a judge to dismiss the copyright case.
The case was significant: it appears to be the first suit of its kind tackling influencer industry content, and the litany of allegations could have had the defendant, Alyssa Sheil, on the hook for millions of dollars in damages.
