RHCP $11 Million Logo Lawsuit 2008-07-13 by DaveyBoy EMERITUS | 12 Comments | Source: www.nme.com
A Florida clothing company that affixed the Red Hot Chili Peppers logo to a jacket has been sued by the merchandising company that owns the rights to the logo, as well as logos of Guns N Roses, Led Zeppelin and more.
Bravada International is suing Back-Lite for $11 million (AUS$11.43) dollars after the company used the logo on a single jacket, at the request of an individual customer.
Back-Lite owner Gary Shaffer agreed to affix the logo on a jacket for a Red Hot Chili Peppers fan who wanted it to wear to this year’s Grammy Awards. The fan was not charged for the jacket, as it was considered a promotional item.
“They are claiming there is a possibility that I’ve made over a million dollars in profits on copyrighted merchandise, which is not true,” Shaffer told rollingstone.com, calling the multi-million dollar suit “extortion”.
The report says that he is currently seeking legal advice, and may not even be able to afford to pay a lawyer.

Well said. To say that $11 million is excessive is a bit of an understatement!
| | |
is he going to do a By The Way and kidnap Anthony, and demand a ransom or something?

I literally cried and stabbed myself in the penis with a biro whilst reading this.
| | |
Gotta say 11 million is a bit ridiculous for a single jacket.
| | |
how do you just make up over a million dollars in profit when in actuality the only piece of evidence they have is where he give it to someone for free.

They deserve it for the big turd that was Stadium Arcadium.This Message Edited On 07.13.08

Maybe this is just what little faith I have left in humanity talking, but I call this one getting thrown out of court.

antipathy to the chili peppers and their image that somehow stands so far from their giant homes and associated lawsuits
note: flea for president

**** 'em.
| | |
Maybe with the $11 million they can buy their old albums and realise the error of the ways and start writing good music again.

It looks like some of you don't realize that its not RHCP that are suing the maker of the jacket...
| | |
Exactly... "sued by the merchandising company that owns the rights to the logo"
