So, You Bought Yourself A Band, Addendum

"Oh! What a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive"

~ Sir Walter Scott

Well, Nemesis said to herself, this is winding up in spectacular fashion!

First, there was one website.

Then, this original website suddenly pointed to a Wikipedia article, and no one could find out about tour dates or order tickets.

And then, suddenly, there were two websites, neither of which were interactive. “Members” on one site were photoshopped in, as the “fired,” “DNA” member was replaced first by one, then another person, thus saving the cost of another photo shoot. Classy! It almost looked as though the third third-wheel had been decapitated.

The newer website had to be called “official,” as to distinguish itself from the original official website, which had morphed into the site of a new production company, that has, most recently, sprouted a copycat TOUR.

Yes, and it was then that the familiar trademark was used to advertise an alternative tour, a west coast tour that ironically includes a gig in Brooklyn, N.Y.

Oh, my! Oh, my!

Did the official ones know about the unofficial “tour”?

Can you say trademark infringement?

But, is that what this is? One signatory against another signatory… Evidently, this can only be unraveled in the courts!

The “Keeping the Music Alive Tour” should probably be renamed.

The “Keeping Our Attorneys Paid Tour” seems just about right…

That's Entertainment!
