Bon Jovi Threatens to Sue Tribute Band "Blonde Jovi" - davien - 04-08-2009
:shifty:
From undercover.com.au via metalsludge.tv:
Bon Jovi is threatening to sue cover bands. What could be worse you ask? Well we'll tell you. The guitar player in Blonde Jovi has perhaps the best stage name in the world. Her name is Bitchy Sambora. We can only hope that Richie Sambora doesn't sue for this to end. That would be a travesty like no other.
Bon Jovi appears to have sunk to a new low - suing a covers band.
A legal letter from the law firm Blakely Sokoloff Taylor & Zafman to the girl group Blonde Jovi has surfaced and states, ââ¬ÅIt has recently come to our attention that your band is using the mark and name BLONDE JOVI in connection with live musical performances; more specifically, a Bon Jovi tribute band. Our investigation also uncovered that you are using BJPââ¬â¢s ââ¬ÅHeart and Daggerââ¬Â Logo trademark prominently on your website. Unfortunately, and despite the fact that our client appreciates the reverence that your band pays tribute to Bon Jovi, as a tribute band, our client nevertheless is charged with the duty of enforcing its trademark rights. In this regard, BJP cannot allow your band to use the mark and name BLONDE JOVI (or any other BJP trademarks), as such use creates a likelihood of confusion with our client, and capitalizes on the goodwill and reputation of its well-known marksââ¬Â.
Is Jon Bon Jovi for real or does he well and truly have his head stuck up his own arse?
A girl-group playing in tiny venues who are paying homage to their heroes ââ¬Åcreates a likelihood of confusionââ¬Â with one of the biggest rock bands in the world.
This is arrogance at its greatest. Bon Jovi should be ashamed of themselves for putting their pitbull lawyers onto a group who obviously adore the band.
ââ¬ÅIn view of the above, we demand, on behalf of our client, that you and your band immediately (i) cease and desist any and all further use of the mark and name BLONDE JOVI, or any other mark or name similar to our clientââ¬â¢s BON JOVI mark, in any mannerââ¬Â.
This line cracked me up. ââ¬ÅWe have no objection to your use of the word BLONDE as long as it is not used in combination with JOVIââ¬Â.
If this is the attitude of Bon Jovi a cease and desist is definitely in order. Fans should cease and desist listening to their music, cease and desist buying their music and cease and desist going to their concerts.

They should be slapped havent they ever seen the midget band Little Kiss or the all girl band Lez Zeppelin who are pretty good by the way for a bunch of skirts. They have more sack than Bon Jovi

If KISS can have a dwarf cover band who barely even actually play, hair boy can get over himself. I think he's just mad that the cover band is getting bigger venues than him.

Only problem with those guys is they have a bit of an overinflated opinion of themselves.

That dickbag Bon Jovi should be happy he even has a career, fucking nasal signing asswipe. He never had a strong voice but now it's just all nose.
