Topic: DJ name Lawsuit

Questo argomento è obsoleto e potrebbe contenere informazioni obsolete o errate.

My promoter has just contacted me telling me i would need to "officially change" my dj name for all promotions, OR go to courst about it...cause I guess there is another DJ Righteous that got mad pissed when he saw DJ Righteous on a promo card that wasn't him. SO! New name shall be (drumroll....) DJ Izic. (because my first name is Isaac, and i all other spellings of it are taken as well)

Can u really trademark a DJ name?

Well, if you are Tiesto, I guess..
But there are soooo many djs that share the same names...
Any dj name you would like, is probably "taken" by someone in the world

Hey TechnicalDJ -

I'd tell your promoter to stand-up on two feet and fight, as well as you should. Spend 5 seconds on google and search "DJ Righteous" and see what you get. I get 5 different entries in the top 10, and oh your BLOG here is one of them. So, stick with the name and don't give up! If anything get some compensation from the other ass for wanting exclusive rights to the name.

i was thinking the same thing but sometimes its just easier to change a name and be done. I have found most dj's to have the biggest EGOs know to man. but how do you know that the other "righteous" was brfore you or had any more right to it then you did?

what are the rules in the battle/what type? is the "other" righteous have VDJ? put something together to make this dummy have it. this would be the time to pull out all of the crowd favs. good luck!

It's just gonna be vinyl...so i don't get to use VDJ...but thats okay, cause again- the scratching doesn't sound that good with VDJ Timecodes anyway (hint hint). BUT- i think it's gonna be two minute sets alternating between us judged on crowd response.

that sounds like the movie "juice" you gonna give him the finger at the end? it be hot hot hot if you could record this battle and bring it back here for all us to hear, i know that might be asking too much but cool as ice, plus you got to run that by the Dj "un" righteous .......so this is a scratch battle, man you should work one mega dope trick in there,

BTW I did a Google search on me and isn't VDJ lucky to only have ONE DJ MaddSound(on line anyways).

I don't believe what i read... these happens only in US, right ?
It's like a movie...

I used "mixMASTER D" as dj name when i was in DMC competitions, can you imagine how many "MASTER...something" there are in dj scene..? especially for scratching/battle..
If i had to fight with all of them...

NO...that only happens when a dumb dj thinks he's the only one that can scratch. the main point is that if you in the same area and then if someone hires dj righteous and think they getting one but it's reallt the other one, it just screws bussiness. kick his ass and good luck
