Chad T Sends Cease and Desist Letter ... to Ed Options

[Cardiff_Giant]

Chad T has sent a letter to Ed telling him he does not have the legal right to use the name or image for +Live+ for any commercial activity (touring, marketing, branding, etc.) and to stop using it immediately.

"I won't litigate this in public"...um, so social media isn't public, CT?

Ed's Canadian tour stars in a few days. Can't imagine those shows are going to get cancelled or changed to "That bald guy you remember from their videos and his current traveling version of Live" (and if you squint or are sitting in the back, it kinda looks like the same bass player ). The official website is still up, Ed's team still has the social media accounts, so are Ed's current lawyers just that much better than CT's?

I have to assume that the Chads and Patrick still get royalty payments from the music...if they haven't made more bad investments or given it to some race car guy again. Does it piss them off to see Ed touring as "Live" and other guys playing their parts? Maybe. But since there's money to be made on the touring circuit, be it small venues or 90s rock cruises, that's probably why they want the name back again so they can play with the rich boy replacement or some other guy or gal they can find that sounds like Ed (seems to work going on 20 years now for Journey).

To hell with legacy, just feel like all four of them are pissing on my good memories from back in the day.
