jules Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 I didn't think his tracks were terrible or anything, but I'M INSANE & CHANNELLING THE SONG OF SATAN is not the angle you want to play when you're just setting up to lay down some wobbly nostalgia techno. i don't think it's the angle you want to take to get picked up by a world conglomerate main stream sports apparel company either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

encey Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 From what I gather, it's legal to use a trademarked brand name as long as the song title or lyrics do not generate any "confusion" as to whether the song represents the company itself that owns the trademark to the name. However, there is also this: Proving dilution of a mark: Under the Dilution Act, famous marks are protected against the dilution of the distinctive nature of the mark. There is no need to prove a likelihood of confusion, nor is there any need to show competition between the goods of the plaintiff and the defendant. Therefore, it is possible to use a dilution cause of action against users of the same mark even when the defendant's goods and services bears no relation to the goods or services of the famous mark. Dilution causes of action are normally brought when the defendant's use of the mark causes either "Blurring", by which the connection in consumers' minds between the plaintiff's mark and the plaintiff's goods or services is weakened; or "Tarnishment", which means that the defendant's use is unsavory or unwholesome, or the mark is used in connection with inferior products. However, the Act makes clear that certain actions will not be subject to the provisions of the Act. Specifically, the Act states that fair use (such as comparative advertising), noncommercial use (such as noncommercial web pages), and all forms of news reporting and news commentary (which would apparently include reporting and commentary appearing on the Internet) would not constitute dilution under the Act.
