And what if a small cover band is makin a small bit of money from covering/mimicking a massive international act that made its millions years ago ... frig sake that’s what all pub and cover bands do!! Are Pearl Jam that greedy and miserable now that they have to keep an eye out and threaten some small acts/ordinary people from tryin to honor the band and make a living ... pretty sad. I bet that there’s more chance of fans buyin Pearl Jam back catalogue after hearing the cover band! What would u say if lady Gaga was on the papers for threatening legal action against a Cavan cover singer called lady gagga who plays in all the Cavan pubs...would ya back her doing it ?

They even sell t-shirts with "PJ" on them. In any other walk of life, that'd be trademark infringement, so why should it be any different? How much money they've made from their own music isn't relevant to this in any shape or form. Why should people be allowed to profit from other people's creations anyway? Tribute bands are great, but they should be making it clear that this is what they are - a tribute act. Pearl Jamm haven't been doing that.

They have their money made years ago.... back when they apparently tried to fight big companies like Ticketmaster to ensure the public didn’t have to pay as much fees to see bands... these days eddie vedder goes around chargin multiples of what other bands charge just to see him playing solo! They found that maybe they can feed on the powerless when they’re cups already overfilled! (Just in case they come to sue me, that last line is a twist of lyrics from “hunger strike!)

siltirocker wrote: » Ya, I am pretty sure Pearl Jamm were selling gear with 'PJ' on it. In Pearl Jam recognised fonts and logos. Also, of our course the band have given legal remit to their people, all bands too, what sort of company has every decision analysed by the band. Sure nothing would get done. They don't sit in on the minutes of each meeting or legal matter like. Even worse from the forums is that some people seem to think that the band are sitting on their computers going "F*** these guys, and these, and, oh, better sue them too!", which is laughable. That said I wish the Pearl Jamm guys all the best. Sincerely to play in a tribute act requires an heighten amount of fandom. But they need to divorce their emotions from this. Like the Pearl Jem lads were in the same boat a few months ago and just went "Ah ya, fair enough."
