Ed sued for trademark infringement Options

[dancing queen]

This I could have never dram of.

Live got publicity in Russia with this suit. There are funny mistakes in the article, on which I have commented, but... damn, guys, if press in Russia is writing about it, it really is SOMETHING.

http://rollingstone.ru/articles/music/news/12370.html

a quick stop at google translate:

Ed Kowalczyk left Live in 2009 to concentrate on his solo career. His tour was held under the slogan "Ed Kowalczyk of Live», and his debut solo album was released under a clear title «Alive» - and in this seeing of copyright infringement on the name. Curiously, the court asked not musicians, who played with Kovalchuk in Live, and representing the interests of their company Action Front Unlimited, which owns, among other things, the rights to the trademark «Live». Lawyers for the company blamed Kovalchuk is that he tried to exploit their brand. Recall, Live entered the history of his album «Throwing Copper» (2004), who took first place in the U.S. charts. Their last studio album «Songs From Black Mountain» was released in 2006.

I read this outloud in my best (which is still horrible) Russian accent. I LOVE the spelling/pronounciation of his name "Kovalchuk" it made me chuckle.

At least Triple M from Australia sees CCP for what they are being:

They're rich, they're talented, but rock stars can still be as petty as hell.

In the latest musical feud, the original members of Live are suing ex-singer, Ed Kowalczyk for 2 million big ones for, get this, the unauthorised use of the name ‘Live’ in promoting his solo concerts.

Have you not read anything people have posted?

[SJN1279]

I find it extremely odd, and don't quite know what to make of it.
The swipes at CAG one night and this less than 24 hours later?

I didn't see Ed's swipes at Gracey(what were they?), but didn't Gracey swipe at Ed quite a bit before they stopped him from posting on LIVE's twitter/FB?

Someone is a big fucking liar and an admitted liar in the past!!

Not sure. Was that before or after Ed stabbed them in the back and quit the band?

those twitters were long before the discovered secret contract.

ahahahaha Triple M is the biggest joke of a radio station here, this is nothing to be proud of. They have absolutely zero credibility.

Yeah but Ed took the passive aggressive way to swipe someone, didn't even have the guts to say what he really meant. I'd have respected him more if he did, even if I didn't agree with it. He's too gutless to want anything to mess up his perfect image.

[World Dreamer]

Hey Nick, why did Ed continue to use Live when he knew the lawsuit was coming?

[OutToDry]

I can say that he doesn't see past the mirror in front of him.

[PillarOfDavidson]

It's funny that media outlet is from Australia... while this forum has numerous Aussies.

Just a coincidence?

Before my time of following Live, SJN, I have no idea.
I'm not surprised you didn't see his posts, he deleted them fairly quickly...about the time he started getting shit from CAG's fans.

Ed Kowalczyk ‎(Ed K.) patricia, no plexi needed when the drums are played so well- timing, finesse, dynamic - a lot of rock drummers could take lessons from my guys (cory is 25 years old BTW)

"(Ed K.) me too August, so nice to see a drummer smile such an effortless, joyful smile while rocking the technical side with such precision. It's the sign of a truly talented drummer- effortless smile :-)"


So I answered your question, SJN, now I've one for you.
How many people besides Ed have access/authority to delete on his FB page?

prepare yourself to be ignored... (though he might claim he doesn't know)

Was also going to laugh at who you are getting such solid, reputable news from Nic....once again - FAIL They do love Ed though. They're known for jumping on the bandwagon.

Stop pulling these tidbits out of your arse.
