Pleasing is larrybaiting. Again.

Il 14 giugno esce la nuova borsa Pleasing. Con il lettering in verde in edizione altamente limitata. E guarda caso l'altra versione in vendita da tempo ha il lettering in blu. Sta davvero diventando imbarazzante e patetico questo continuo larrybaiting. Una compagnia senza alcuna vergogna (vabbè, non c'è da stupirsi) che sfrutta il nome di Harry e sente il bisogno di fare presa su questo lato del fandom, ma alienandolo ben volentieri in altri contesti.

Ma si sa, i soldi fanno girare il mondo, spesso con buona pace dell'etica. Da tempo ormai sembrano infatti determinati a seguire questa strategia di marketing. Ciliegina sulla torta: la foto per promuovere gli smalti mostra anche uno smiley parecchio simile a un altro di nostra conoscenza. Ho già detto patetici?

E perché mai cambiarla quando sono già riusciti a prendere in giro un sacco di fans facendo loro credere che dietro a Pleasing ci sia Harry e non... sorpresa, sorpresa: Jeff (e la sua famiglia). Ma basterebbe fare una semplice ricerca per scoprire la verità.

Ecco, magari quelle persone ancora parecchio confuse sulle "strane" scelte promozionali, o addirittura convinte che Pleasing appartenga ad Harry e per questo investono una barca di soldi su quei prodotti, potrebbero dare una lettura a questo utilissimo post:

I found the following Pleasing information on a Tumblr blog. This is not my research: - Pleasing, the trademark, was registered in April 2021 in the US, two days after Jeffrey Azoff’s subsidiary Empty Leg, LP was registered in the State of Delaware. Jeffrey also owns the entity Emptyleg Manager, LLC - Emptyleg Manager II, LLC entity is owned by someone named Osborn Curry; will update as we find more info UPDATE Osborn Curry works under THE AZOFF MUSIC COMPANY LLC. Both entities are confirmed owned by the Azoff family. -Pleasing, the trademark was registered in the UK in May 2021 by Emptyleg, LP. - Pleased As Holdings Limited was registered in May 2021 in the UK, by Harry Styles, and lists himself and his assistant Emma as directors. Erksine Records owns all the shares to Pleased As (PLEASING AS IS NOT ASSOCIATED TO PLEASING, the Delaware registered company) Bases on this information it looks like Harry is nothing more than a brand ambassador for one of Jeff’s companies. Registering Pleasing As and sending out Press Release saying Harry was starting a lifestyle brand, him wearing the products, being a hand model and promoting it on SM was enough to convince his fans it was his company. He is a willing participant in promoting but it’s not his company in any legal way. This borderlines fraud if true. Jeff knows H’s fans will buy any thing he is associated with including $65 nail polish.

about pleasing

All the pleasing trademarks are owned by Emptyleg, LP (there’s ca. 30 trademark)

Emptyleg, LP is owned by Emptyleg manager, LLC which is owned by jeff azoff (check 5. managers or members)

“jeffrey azoff, sole member of Emptyleg Manager, LLC” 👆🏻(signature)

EMPTYLEG, LP changed names and became THE PLEASING COMPANY

(director/officers Emptyleg Manager, LLC --> owned by jeff)

You can find info about PLEASED AS here --> x

as of today there is no link between “pleased as” and “the pleasing company”

I am not a business person so if I misread/misinterpreted something feel free to point it out :)

wellthatwasaletdown tumblr com/post/667892046543060992/so-i-came-across-the-info-that-the-anon-was#notes the official Pleasing registration documents. Harry is the sole owner of Pleasing and Jeff is only the manager on the UK and US tax forms

What does it really matter if it’s exclusively Harry’s company or not - we know he’s connected to it and will get a cut of the profits. That said I really wish people who are clueless about business would stop drawing these uninformed and wrong conclusions. Especially when they - as op here - has a very obvious agenda... (that post being made by some former-harry-fan selfhelp club it the least surprising thing..) I was pretty much done talking about Pleasing but okay i'll explain.

PLEASE read my Pleasing timeline to better understand the difference between the Pleasing brand, patents, and domains as well as Emptyleg LP/LLC and Pleased As Holdings Ltd. Okay let me break down those images:

Image 1 : A state of Califonia ‘Application for Registration of a Foreign Limited Partnership‘ for Emptyleg LP, the owner on the Pleasing trademarks. Now “foreign” in this context means outside the state of California, not outside the US (which it seems these people took as “proof”). This application is needed because the company is registered in Delaware (likely for tax purposes, look it up, I’m not explaining it..) but it was incorporated in California. This is very standard procedure for this type of company. The explanation that “Harry is on tour, so his manager registered the company” is ridiculous. He couldn’t find time to fill-in that form ? LOL Nothing in this has Harry’s name on it.

Image 2 : Now, first of all this image has no connection to the previous document. This is information on Harry's company Pleased As Holdings Ltd. on gov.uk. Pleased As is a company incorporated in the UK (hence the Ltd. prefix). I don't know why they crossed out the addresses as it's Harry's lawyers' office and these are public records. Harry and his assistant Emma Spring are listed as directors. Erskine Records Ltd is listed as person with significant control with ownership of shares: 75% or more. According to the company profile the co. is in the business of “wholesale of perfume and cosmetics”, however, besides the similar name, there are no direct links to the brand Pleasing nor to Emptyleg. Mixing apples and oranges..

Image 3 : A screencap from the US Patent & trademark office stating the Emptyleg LP and Emptyleg Manager LLC are the owners of the trademarked phrase “Find Your Pleasing”. Nothing in this has Harry’s name on it.

Image 4 : Basically the same as image 1 - an application but for an LLC. Again “foreign” here means outside the state of California, not outside the US.

In conclusion there is nothing in any of those 3 documents mentioning Harry or any of his companies and certainly nothing that proves Harry is “the sole owner”. I’m not saying this is proof he isn’t involved, because of course he is, we know that - but that post is proof of nothing except how op obviously has an anti-harry agenda...

I was right about his pleasing hoodie and the beauty line!!!!! I wish I could be right with my other theory now.

The pleasing hoodie is not for his brand the trademark is owned by something called emptyleg, lp - so no you’re wrong actually sorry buddy
