    You'd want to be pretty frickin' stupid to be selling merch with "PJ" on it when you're a Pearl Jam tribute band. And who would wear a tribute band t shirt??

    Its unfortunate to see PJ getting bad press over this. It's obvious trademark infringement.

    The funny side effect of this on Twitter is that Pearl Jamm have lots of support from bands like Oasish, The Fillers and The Smiths Ltd.

    Hopefully this stops their whining on social media, their attempts to appeal to real Pearl Jam fans fell flat on its face

    Au contraire.....

    The reaction is in their favour. Majority of comments are against the corporates,

    The amount that Vedder charges for his solo shows is way too high, but the rest of what you are saying is nonsense. This tribute band is out there profiting from a trademarked act. 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.

    I doubt anyone’s coming upon Pearl jamms website thinking they’re buying original Pearl Jam t shirts. 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 ?

    While I generally have zero time for tribute bands, and feel there's enough talk about tribute bands on this thread already, I'm pretty sure it wasn't Pearl Jam directly who were responsible for the cease and desist.

    It's not like Stone was online and heard about the tribute band and went "hey!!". It was the lawyers and management people.

    That's their job. That's what they are paid to do. I doubt Pearl Jam even knew about it.

    I'm as big a fan of cover bands as anyone. I've seen Pearl Jem at least 10 times - but no, I don't think that cover bands should be selling merch and making money off a trademarked brand. Selling shirts with "PJ" on them is clear copyright infringement. I'm not sure what's unclear about that to you, but look, we both have our opinions and you're more than entitled to yours.

    Let's not forget that for copyright law to be effective, you have to prove you've defended your copyright in some manner or form. This is just so they can stop potential future issues.

    Nice to know Pearl Jem changed the name. If I saw Light Years were playing, I likely wouldnt have gone

    A tribute band selling merchandise opens up all kinds of cans of worms. I don't see why they don't just change the name and be done with it. It's pretty close to the original. Like some lidl and aldi biscuit brands!

    Yep. I can't imagine a tribute band called "Metallicaa" selling Metallicaa t-shirts getting away with that for too long. Much ado about nothing at all.
