UN vs United Nations

2008-11-08 by Athom EMERITUS | 41 Comments
Its seems as though the United Nations doesn't like their namesake band. The international political organization sent a takedown notice to Facebook for the removal of the United Nations band page saying that the use of the United Nations name and the band's logo (which is based off of the logo for the United Nations) is a violation of US copyright laws.

They should just relocate to a different country not a part of the UN to keep the name.

no wonder they cant sort anything out.

I would love to see the meeting where they decided on this.

'We need to help third world contries ... what there's a band with the same name as us, stop everything this need to be delt with'

I'm looking forward to them failing to do this just to show how useless they are at doing anything.

nay, dudes.
We live in a society were copyright is one of the most protected and sacred rights, no one ever dares doing anything anyone else might have done before.
and btw, the UN is anything but useless, I don't wanna know where the world would be at if it wasn't for them. Sadly they can't come, click their fingers and through Kim Jong-il out of his country (though they could if all the members would suddenly be graced with morale); however, you must never forget that it is an hugely important platform, especially for dialogues between states, that wouldn't talk to each other otherwise. And they have done more successful peace-keeping missions than the US could ever dream of. If every state would act like the US did and just invade whoever they want cause they see their own safety and interest threatened, it wouldn't take more than a few years until we're in the next world war.

At least right now it is just their myspace page. It reminds me of when Jughead's Revenge had to change their names to Jugg's Revenge because of Archie Comics (and they were never the same again and probably what made them break up). They should change their names to United Nations Divided or Divided Nations United or Divided Nations, but I just took out a copyright out on those names...
