Yeah, but is the trademark they’re suing over improperly using the name or what? I mean I guess it could be referencing a logo or design as well.

People being flagged down in the street and checked for the authenticity of their t-shirts! Brilliant. "Right, the game's up son, that bullet logo looks distinctly washed-out to me. You thought you could get away with this? Hands against the wall. Now. What do you mean 'it's official and you just paid $50 for it, it's not my fault that the official stuff looks like a bootleg too?'. You can explain it to the judge pal." 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not their fault if they can't shell out for the $50 shirts. Supposedly the shirts on the tour truck site aren't the same as what's actually at the shows? Same designs but different vendor. So they're almost bootlegging themselves 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, not being able to afford something doesn't give one exemption from consequences (imagine that, getting a rap sheet for buying 10$ one-time use tshirt). However, I agree that $50 USD is ridiculous for a t-shirt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gnr5 Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 as being previously "sued" for copyright infringement before, i'm really wondering, what is GNR asking the judge? “There really is no monetary relief that can be obtained in this case,” Feinswog, who also represented the rock stars in the Newark court, told a judge during a video hearing on Tuesday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackstar Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 It seems that these lawsuits have been common: Global Merchandising filed a similar lawsuit three years ago prior to the start of SLAYER's farewell tour. In August 2010, Live Nation filed a lawsuit against several "John Does" in advance of that month's Ozzfest in Devore, California. ("John Doe" is a term used in lawsuits for individuals whose actual names are not yet known.) Live Nation was attempting to get a court order that would have federal and local law enforcement authorities seize and impound trademark-infringing gear at Ozzy Osbourne's traveling festival. AC/DC also filed a similar suit ahead of its 2016 U.S. tour. https://www.blabbermouth.net/news/guns-n-roses-lawsuit-seeks-to-stop-counterfeit-merchandise/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post willl Posted August 14, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 14, 2021 Is there anyone they won't sue? Wish they'd spend more time in a recording studio and less time in their lawyers office but whatever. When you have a globally recognised brand, a tour generating (idk) $50,000,000, you're hitting BILLIONS of streams on digital platforms...... just seems like pure greed that they'd sue street vendors who probably already have a criminal record, no employment opportunities, less than $1k in their bank, extortionate rent due soon, wife and kids to feed etc. I love GNR and appreciate that this is probably just their overly enthusiastic legal team at work, but why go down the legal route? Why not just work with the bootleggers outside the venue and take a cut of their profits, instead of having them sued into bankruptcy or jailed etc. "From Hollywood California, the most litigious band in the world, Guns N Fuckin Roses" Maybe someone needs to sue GNR for the environmental impact this band has on our planet? Private jets and endless amounts of merchandise results in a pretty whopping carbon footprint, and it only seems to get worse with each passing year. I thought Axl was supposed to be "woke" and a liberal snowflake these days? Doesn't seem like it 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But whenever I see a writer with a similar style to how you write, I wonder how you do other things in life. Like, drive a car. Is it straight thru every stop light without even glancing left and right. Or taking a crap. Just get up without wiping, no flush. Or eat. Don’t chew at all. Just makes me wonder. Thank you. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
