^Why's that? It doesn't have to be internationally known in order to have a "strong case". I don't like to be thought as "no one"  :P I think it has a strong case for customer confusion based purely on the fact it highlights the words "Iron Maiden" and makes "and the" all but invisible.

I think they would, and clearly the band thinks so too. But thats irrelevant. You wanted to know why the band would be so harsh - its to make sure they are not caught out the next time this happens on a larger scale, whether or not people would actually be fooled by the name matters little, the...

But your examples are not of people intentionally using it in their title quite blatantly.....of course you can't copyright the words, but you can take people to court for attempting to use your fame. All they had to do was make the "and the" more obvious, but no, they thought they could make...

Technology moves on, welcome to the nightmare which is computers. I gave up long ago on attempting to keep up to date with anything electronic, if I see new technology cheap I'll pick it up but trying to keep up year after year is rediculously expensive. But, as for Blu-ray, this will probably...

But if they hadn't bothered now, what would they say if it happened again on a bigger scale? The accused would just point to this case as an example of people being allowed to use their fame - obviously its in Maiden's best interests to make sure they keep a strong position on this. Yes, its a...

Sorry for the double post. But heres Richard Young's response about ASAP playing live, quashing all that has been said about them never playing live... "-We did sort of!!....I seem to remember a gig at The George Robey Pub in Finsbury Park LONDON & a couple of other places...We also played at...

But on the opposite side, I'm seem to find very people who like Psycho Motel.....which is a shame really, most that like Adrian's solo stuff prefer ASAP or Urchin. And everyone else either doesn't like it because they don't like grunge (or at least, that kind of sound) or don't like it because...

I should have posted this earlier but only just found it again after finally logging onto my myspace fanpages, I had asked Bob Richards (drummer, The Untouchables) about whether Adrian had recorded any albums or anything more live from the period and he replied: "hi, i did an albums worth of...

Like I said, the "and the" is the main problem, because it is so tiny it is clearly trying to take advantage of the recognition of the words "Iron Maiden". Not to mention that Maiden have to take such a strong stance to avoid being weakened in future arguments. I don't think people should be as...

There is nothing wrong with "and the"...there is something wrong when you make those two words so tiny that they aren't readable unless you specifically knew the title of the comic.

To be fair, the logo does make the "and the" so tiny you wouldn't notice - people would at first glance think it said "Iron Maiden" and I suspect this is why they are being sued. I agree it it isn't a big deal really, but you have to remember, if they were lenient with this one case, it heavily...

IIRC, it was taken from the torture device, as they were watching the film "The Man in the Iron Mask".

Ah, my mistake. Then in this case, I'll let it slide but obviously I disagree with the notion that Janick's onstage antics aren't worth anything to the band. Who else was going to get Davey to move (and even H a little bit)!

Eh, isn't Eddie Trunk the guy who interviewed Sharon and Ozzy about Eggfest? He didn't impress me that time around so I'm not really surprised he's said something as dumb as this.

Jumping on other people's wireless networks is fun. The amount of un-encrypted ones is amazing, especially because most of the time when you setup these routers it does usually ask or say something about it. Soon enough though, wireless routers will be partially obsolete because of WiMAX and...

I've actually got it on DVD, managed to find it for £2 in Zavvi before they started closing down, still haven't watched it though, lol. I've had too many things to watch at the moment.

If Iron Maiden were a cake, what would they be? ;)

I've managed to get people into Maiden using a variety of songs: The most popular one that most people have heard is Run to the Hills. Another almost as popular song is Bring Your Daughter...to the Slaughter Then the usual suspects (generally singles): 2 Minutes to Midnight, Aces High, Hallowed...

A nice live video of "Voices from the Past": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R9ojg1kGhRU Will definitely have to catch Blaze again playing his latest album, its sounding good live.

Woops, forgot about that.
