I wonder if Ed's Lawyers have seen this...
Ok, so I was online looking at something when I noticed this little gem...
http://www.target.com/gp/detail.html...sin=B000MWTAAC
"Von Hellion"? Methinks they did not get EVH's permission to use the pattern. Then again, maybe they licensed it. If they didn't, their minor alterations and the silly name probably wouldn't save them from a dilution claim. Besides, my homemade paintjob looks 10 times better and it didn't
cost me anymore than about $5.
Mods, I apologize if this is in the wrong place. Perhaps it is time for a new thread: the "Lawsuit in the Making Thread" perhaps?Psalms 75:10: "All the horns of the wicked also will I cut off; BUT THE HORNS OF THE RIGHTEOUS SHALL BE EXALTED."

My favorite number used to be 5150. Now, it's 41-38.

I sense a "cease and desist" letter in their future....

The song is clearly licensed; this is an accessory as an aftermarket product marketed to those who bought said game. The licensing of the music does not carry over to said products. As for caring, a bad knockoff dilutes the trademark even more than a good one by potentially tarnishing the mark holder's reputation (insert RRHOF/Lead Singer/20 Albums worth of music in my studio Joke here).

only "you really got me" is on there, which is a kinks song, but still referred to in the game with the line "as made famous by van halen"
toys r us had this "von helion" graffix sticker available for free if you bought the game with the guitar when it came out the first week... i still see plenty of this vinyl sticker set marked down to about $5 (started at $15)...
if you go to the company's website, it does not display this particular sku...

except for a few select songs, all of the songs in I & II are people covering the original... most of the time, the songs sound pretty damn close to the original...

I saw one of these "Von Helion" GH skins at TRU today. The price sticker said they were originally $14.99, now they're 50˘. For that price I bought one. No idea why as I don't have anything related to GH. Just a chump, I guess. They had maybe a half dozen more.
