Not surprised really. While it sounds crazy, the combination of all those elements (the font, the numbers, the colors) would easily confuse a random stranger to mistaken DROP as being affiliated with SKAM. In fact, that was the first thought most of us had when we first saw the teaser for the show. That this was an official spinoff of SKAM. And that is sometimes all that is required for a copyright/trademark infringement, whether a random stranger would be confused.
They can be as inspired by SKAM as they want, but that is no reason to use the same font and color in combination with a similar concept.

It seems like a really simple fix considering SKAM cannot rightly complain about anything other than the timestamps/font. The show is different from every other, meaningful angle: the basic premise (school shooting), exploring multiple characters, reviewing the events of the same week from their perspectives, not presented in real time, etc. Not sure why the DROP producers have decided to throw out the baby with the bathwater instead of just editing the way those timestamps, and their logo, are presented. If they need a bit more cash for the editing, I'm sure they've gathered enough fans by now to crowdfund it. Again, it's not like they need to reshoot anything - it's purely in the editing suite, from what I can see.

It is possible that SKAM can argue that even if DROP re-edit the timestamp and re-upload, DROP had already benefited from the violation by gathering that large audience that they wouldn't have if they didn't latch on to SKAM's popularity. I'm obviously not a copyright expert, so no idea if that is a plausible argument.

Here is the re-worked Vlad episode:
I am glad that they seemed to have found a solution.

Anyone care to interpret the ending of the show? I do hate ambiguous endings. It seems like Vlad survived but Mark died, but then we saw his finger twitching?

The actor who plays Vlad is in another project called 1895: Year of Death, which - unlike DROP - seems to actually have a gay clinch for his character. (Check out the 3rd and 4th slides in the Instagram below.) http://instagram.com/p/CW78xTrtpxZ
