The Band Lady A Files Lawsuit Against Singer Anita 'Lady A' White



quote:

Country group Lady A, which dropped the word "Antebellum" from its name because of the word's ties to slavery, has filed a lawsuit against a Black singer who has performed as Lady A for years.

The Grammy-winning vocal group filed the lawsuit Wednesday in federal court after negotiations with Anita White broke down in recent weeks. According to the lawsuit, the band is seeking a ruling that their use of the trademark "Lady A" does not infringe on White's alleged trademark rights of the same name. The band is not seeking monetary damages.

They had agreed on a deal and now the Lady wants more money so they are suing to share naming rights, saying they trademarked the name in 2011. I don't see the big deal on this one

‘Before War’ in Latin now mean ‘Slavery’ in English.

This world is fricking hilarious at this point.

Lady Antebellum, such a curious choice of name and one that translates to pre Civil War Lady or perhaps Lady Slave Owner.

We shouldn’t laugh at them. Being a woke SJW is really hard. We should all commend their virtue even if they screwed a black person when it really mattered.

People have been calling them “Lady A” for years, and they are not seeking to preclude the other lady from using the name as well.

This is a Nothing Burger.

But it IS 2020. People need to throw a fit about SOMETHING.

According to the lawsuit, the band applied for trademarks for the name "Lady A" for entertainment services and for use on clothing back in 2010 and no oppositions were filed by any person or entity.


They own the rights and tried to work something out. No when to hold them and when to fold them. Could of gotten something but now will get nothing.

The singer's lawyer is playing them right. I'd imagine it went something like this:


"Let's shoot for like three to five million out of this. We'll demand ten and force their hand. It'll get press. And then we'll look good for taking half of our demand to make it go away."
