Geez, the angry mob bitches at them to change their name and now that same angry mob bitches at them for changing it.
(I was going to say "people" but I guess I can't use that word in this context. I don't know how the fuck people manage to be constantly-PC without inadvertently offending. The game seems set up so anybody would lose unless they had immunity... but maybe that's the point of it? The ridiculous number of possible connotations ensures that micro-transgressions are unavoidable thus always giving them something to point at so as to maintain their power. ) --- (\/)(\/)|-| There are precious few at ease / With moral ambiguities / So we act as though they don't exist. ...

Imagine trying to defend a group suing a woman to use her name. More like, group files a lawsuit simply stating they should continue to be able to use a trademark that they own and have owned for ten years. It seems that Anita White never got a trademark herself, and never contested Lady Antebellum's use of "Lady A." She was relatively unknown (getting 15 likes per Instagram post, no Wikipedia page) until a month ago when this name dispute started. Lady Antebellum has an argument for trademark ownership and they are willing to coexist with the name, even if they legally don't have to. Basically this smells like she just wants to try to make a quick buck. Initially she was fine sharing their name and then shot out the demand for $10 million. --- Take me for what I am -- who I was meant to be. And if you give a damn, take me baby, or leave me. ...

More like, group files a lawsuit simply stating they should continue to be able to use a trademark that they own and have owned for ten years. You can pretty easily challenge a trademark claim even if the period for trademark dispute has passed. You just have to be able to prove you've been doing business under the trademark prior to their purported use of it.

It should be the reverse since they never defended it. Well, lady Antebellum did register it. And while it's entirely feasible lady Antebellum never was aware of Anita White, the converse would be hard to believe. The point is Anita White neglected to defend the widespread use of a trademark. Essentially, if she cared, she would have known and done something about it. Again, that's what I perceive is the argument being made. --- Take me for what I am -- who I was meant to be.

I'm not going to pretend that I'm an expert in IP law but I've seen others explain that failure to defend a trademark can lead to loss of exclusive rights, and that's what's being argued by lady Antebellum Im gonna pretend to be an expert on IP law The challenge is there to make it easier for folks with a potential claim to a trademark to make it happen but its not the only way to do it. The assumption that someone would have to watch the whatever trademark challenge claims like a hawk would be a ridiculous ask of regular individuals or businesses that don't have an attorney on hand. That being said, from what I understand her claim to be able to get any sort of restitution for their using her alleged name is going to be much more difficult to prove. They seem to have acted in good faith by filing the trademark. I would wager at best, if she does get the trademark claim, she won't get anything else from it in lost revenue. Especially because she's obviously the smaller 'brand'. --- I promise that if the game stinks I will make a topic about how I hate it and you can all laugh at me - Mead on Fallout 76 ...

Where is she going to get 10 million from? Thankfully, the band isn't requesting any money for the publicity. They're not greedy fucks, unlike an artist who tried to copyright troll a decade after they filed the trademark which was years after they'd been using it to reference themselves. Actually, they probably have as much history with the name as the artist who is trying to extort them except, you know, people actually know who they are. --- (\/)(\/)|-| There are precious few at ease / With moral ambiguities / So we act as though they don't exist. ...
