deceptikonz lawsuit?

apparently they are being sued, by the big toy company i assume... the name is obviously different to the trademark, but they've been wearing t-shirts with the decepticon icon...

anyone know about this? i'd be interested to find out more

Forums: NZ Music,

no info, but it seems like it was bound to happen

Word was going round in the Hip Hop scene that they should have cleared the name, but hey there a NZ hip hop Crew, how would they have found out??? - I hope they don't get sued, cos dawnraid would lose some $$$

Nah, it's gotta be from the cartoon, they even have that song - Robot in Disgise, and yeah thos shirts as well!!

yeah, it would be really unfortunate if dawn raid copped it - esp as they're doing so much good stuff for the community in south ak...

naming issues seem to hit prominent nz groups from time to time - i'm thinking trinity (roots), shihad, and now deceptikonz...

i think they could have got away with it if it wasn't for using the icon on the shirts. i was really digging their dark techno-robot verbal assult vibe, but then, i was a kid in the 80's, with transformers, akira, etc...

and the nixons. *grin*
