Topic	Lady A (formerly Lady Antebellum) sues black singer who already had the name
TheGoldenEel 07/09/20 10:15:46 AM #69:	brokenfingers posted... I can promise you no band has ever chosen to use my name "Conspiracy to Defame Katie." But feel free. But legalities aside, anyone who knows a person has been using a name for a decade and still tries to sue her to get her to stop using it is, can we agree, a scummy fuck. They are not trying to get her to stop using the name as I understand the story they were working to come to an agreement that both acts continue using the name, as many acts before have done, until talks broke down and the singer demanded $10 million from the band. So now the band is claiming theyve held trademark on Lady A for ten years and are legally able to use the name. again, this singer being known as Lady A for twenty years is misleading as fuck. She is a complete no name who released her first album in 2010 (AFTER Lady Antebellum is claiming they had been using the name Lady A). Her top song on Spotify has around 2000 plays and the rest have less than 1000 (and theres no way to know how many of those plays came after this controversy got her name out there). There is no way anyone can argue that this woman was a notable name outside of local musician circles in Seattle. this easily could have been a situation where they just agreed to both use the names, it got the singers name out there, hell Im sure they would have tossed her some cash over it too. But instead her legal team is asking for TEN MILLION DOLLARS which is completely ridiculous. She is very obviously banking on the optics of Lady Antebellum fighting to use a name a black woman uses direct quote from the band saying theyre not trying to get her to stop using the name Today we are sad to share that our sincere hope to join together with Anita White in unity and common purpose has ended. She and her team have demanded a $10 million payment, so reluctantly we have come to the conclusion that we need to ask a court to affirm our right to continue to use the name Lady A, a trademark we have held for many years. When we learned that Ms. White had also been performing under the name Lady A, we had heartfelt discussions with her about how we can all come together and make something special and beautiful out of this moment. We never even entertained the idea that she shouldnt also be able to use the name Lady A, and never willtodays action doesnt change that. --- The words of The Golden Eel have been revealed...
