Hard Rock Cafe International Serves Cease & Desist Letter To Hard Rock Nights
November 11, 2010, 13 years ago
Brian Basher, the owner of the domain hardrocknights.com and host of the Hard Rock Nights Radio show, was served a cease & desist letter from Hard Rock Cafe International claiming copyright and trademark infringement.
Hard Rock Cafe International has threatened a lawsuit against Basher if he does not immediately take down all content and cease operating www.hardrocknights.com and immediately transfer to Hard Rock Cafe International any and all rights to the domain name hardrocknights.com.
Although he makes no money or profits from www.hardrocknights.com or the Hard Rock Nights Radio show Basher has decided to fight this frivolous legal action from Hard Rock Cafe International.
Says Brian Basher: "Hard Rock Nights and hardrocknights.com are in no way shape or form associated with Hard Rock Cafe International. I'm a disabled veteran who makes no money whatsoever from the website or radio show and it isn't about that. Hard Rock Nights is about celebrating the genre of Hard Rock and the bands that make the greatest music in the world and sharing that music with fans old and new around the world. I find it very hard to believe a term or genre of music can be trademarked."
More information, and the Cease & Desist letter is available at this location.
