Tomangoes Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 Maybe you should invite the owners of Soultrain along for a free night to show them what you do etc. Tell them you have given them lots of free exposure on this site!!!!! I read a story ages ago that certain companies get paid for spotting copyright infringements on behalf of other companies affected. Just think of the fallout from this if all old record labels etc pursued this sort of thing. Okeh/Stateside/Loma/Mirwood etc. On the other hand I heard a rumour that a certain promoter was being chased for a few quid for selling unauthorised music, so maybe a line has to be drawn to protect companies image or products.

Soon we won't be able to use any words at all for fear of legal action. I agree with the above, tell them to get stuffed, they probably can't afford to sue you.

Ed Fully understand what your saying here ed, if youve paid for a trademark then of course you don`t want it used by other people, but we use the logo york soultrain, or soul train york, i think where this has come from is the on the scene publication, who has just used soultrain in our avertisement, we should have instructed paul at on the scene to use soultrain york for our advert, but until now we had no idea of this other soultrain so in effect it is our fault, but the message my mate got was out of order and was not explained to him, it just said stp using this logo with immediate effect or legal action will be taken, how they can take legal action when we are using york soultrain is beyond me Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

The same guy didn't have a problem closing Soul Train records down and forming Solar records shortly after Shalamar sold a million! But he obviously owns the copyright on the name and he's also not afraid of incurring legal costs and instigating litigation that's for sure. I'd be inclined to drop 'em a line to let 'em know that they're really barking up the wrong tree on the basis that it's a bit petty to try and close down a night that's been going for 6 years and attended by SOUL FANS who put Don Cornelius where he is in the first place! But in my experience they're usually not bothered by such arguements. You also have to be careful at being too close to 'Soul Train' as they can still argue that you're 'passing off' by being too similar to their trade mark. Storm in a teacup really but presumably that's what they pay their lawyers for, pain in the ass that it is!

Sorry. not sure what the legal deal is across the pond... what are you folks laws regarding copyright protections? i am not a lawyer, do not play one on TV and can't stand them, for the most part. Well I've always traditionally had a lot of bad luck with lawyers. I've lost every case that I've ever employed a lawyer for and paid a fortune for the privilege. Including one massive £28,500 bill for fighting for the rights to the Mastercuts name and trademark. It's not worth getting into a legal battle in the UK. The law is hazy, there are a zillion and one different types of trademark and they're all argueable for ages, which costs. Basically it's the same concept as the U.S., namely, 'he who hath the dosh, wins'. The alternative is that it could be turned into a HUGE publicity angle which would probably end up scaring 'em away, i.e. 'Rich American TV Tycoon Tries To Close Down Local Soul Night' - a sort of David & Goliath scenario for the tabloids. Harry could appear on telly as the local man with a heart of gold doing something good for the community fighting against the faceless U.S. corporation who want control of two everyday words - 'soul' and 'train'. A sort of "Local Hero" for the North. F&*k me! What a GREAT idea! Harry - I'll give you £200K for the film rights now mate! What a story! Ian D PS "Soul Locomotive"?

I'd cut a deal with Don on the basis that both you and him could get a blizzard of publicity out of this - he'll get to licence the "Soul Train" DVD's in the UK and publicise 'em and you keep the "Soul Train" nights in York and triple the audience!
