Why did they bleep out brands like Versace and Universal Studios? What does this mean?

So they wouldn't get sued for copyright infringement.

I thought it was funny, too. Does anyone know for sure if they were forced to do it (copyright laws)? I thought it was deliberate.

In the Hideaki Anno flick Love & Pop, they bleeped out all references to "Captain Io" because that's a Walt Disney trademark. It got a little annoying there during dramatic scenes. But in a comedy like this, it's funny.

It thought it was hilarious. Also, didn't her father get in trouble for selling the stuff? I thought they were going off of that.
