PayPal Puts a Stop to Bitcoin-Inspired Ad Parody:

Excerpt from the Wall Street Journal:

Shiloh Silverman, who runs a video production firm called Silver Park Studio, created a version of the ad that swapped in images of people using bitcoin and substituted “PayPal” to proclaim “Bitcoin is newer money.”

“Our vision of New Money includes Bitcoin,” a PayPal spokeswoman said in an email on Wednesday. “But to avoid customer confusion, we asked them for the video to be removed.”
