@TimStone I hate how difficult replying to linked messages is
In any case, point is, I meant on mobile
But yeah the corruption is completely unreal

I wonder if it's even possible for the US to reverse course at this point. It's already blown up so much and for so long I just don't see how they can slow it down at this point.
@Wipqozn I don't think anything short of a full lockdown like Italy could get it under control now, the numbers are just too high. It still would make sense to blunt the peak, but getting it under control doesn't seem possible
BAsically, this band and every person in it is trash. It's obvious they didn't give a shit about the fact their name had ties to slavery, or care about BLM or anything at all.
@Wipqozn From what I read, the band has actually owned the registered trademark for Lady A for years, and had a prior agreement with the singer that they could both use it. And this is a countersuit because the singer is suing them.
Yeah, I can find those in the US Trademark Office database search. Filed in 2010
@murgatroid99 I'm well aware they own the trademark. The story made it seems like they only recently acquired it, which is a huge difference.
I would be curious to hear what their handshake agreement was, though. aka was it "you can use Lady A, but only for some promotional stuff?" aka it can't be your name? and now they decided to just start calling themselves Lady A officially, and the singer feels betrayed.
In which case legally she probably has no legs to stand on, but pretty shitty of the band if that's the case.
Either way, this case is unclear so my rage and sense of injustice has dissipated. FOR NOW!
