Calling for the destruction of DVDs, CDs, etc? Christ, these people are asking for it! There’s so much money behind those products, Warner Bros and co will never back down on this one. Prepare to be crushed like bugs.

You can’t have a reputation associated with goodwill and try to, essentially, take peoples’ games, movies, and music away. This is something the Grinch would do.

Must be something to do with Canadians:

Dan Snaith of the marvellous Manitoba was forced to change the bands name to Caribou, after Handsome Dick Manitoba (of lesser known / lame punk band the Dictators) took out a lawsuit against him…

Ah well.

Aye, as the original article hints: wyrd sisters should be more worried about ripping off Shakespeare and Pratchett. No one that I know who has watched the movies knows anything about a particular band’s name.

Time to stop laying blame and start taking advantage of the status quo. That’s true marketing, Baryluk. Go read some Seth Godin (http://sethgodin.typepad.com/seths_blog/)

Shakespeare and Terry Pratchett should sue this woman for associating “Wyrd Sisters” with stupidity.

I really hope that this isn’t the reason they aren’t playing in the praries and more specifically Winnipeg. It’s so stupid and wasting money on courts that could be put to better use.
