Beatallica v/s Sony
Beatallica, the coverband that play Beatles songs Metallica style recently received a cease and desist letter sent by Sony. Here is their story: The cease and desist was sent to our ISP and not Beatallica or Beatallica, L.L.C. All we can say right now, is that we are looking into the matter and we will keep you all posted. Is there a chance our ISP could pull the site? Sure there is. Does Sony want the News, Music, Lyrics, and Merch sections removed? Yes, they do. This does not affect Beatallica’s ability to perform live shows as we've set more and are making ground for Europe this year.
Let it be known that Beatallica, at this moment, is NOT getting sued by anyone in Metallica or by any living Beatle. Jaymz actually had a conversation with Lars Ulrich since the cease and desist was sent and we’re happy to say that the Metallica camp is fully behind us and the integrity of Beatallica. Lars was very personable and we’re thankful to have his personal time with all this. Over the last few dayz, there have been bangers from all over the world writing to us or writing on blogs/sites that have had concerns, comments, and rants about what is happening or what will happen. We do appreciate each and every one of you who is on our side, really. We know who our allies are and we look forward to extending relationships with the present folks who are Beatallibangers and Beatallibangers to come in the near future. We want to address the situation with the correct parties and come to a conclusion.
