someone is lame enough to rip off local metal bands!![views:3034][posts:33]_________________________________ [Sep 5,2005 2:21am - cav nli ""] so im browsing around on myspace tonite and i find an account for a band called "death notes for dehlia" ...now if you know anything about my band Dour Cursiva (not that i expect you to, but apparently these kids do) this is a rip off of the name of one of our old songs called "gracenotes for delhia". notice that they not only ripped us off, but they cant spell dehlia right. i wonder if thats their way of avoiding legal issues. but im not really sure what to do here. maybe there a tribute band. haha! check it out here... http://www.myspace.com/dehliasdeathnote |
| ____________________________________ [Sep 5,2005 2:36am - AUTOPSY_666 ""] I used to do vocals for a band called A TRAGEDY UNVEILED and we had a song titled "Inanna", after that song appeared on a few compilations a band comes out named INANNA UNVEILED. Who knows? |
| _________________________________ [Sep 5,2005 2:37am - cav nli ""] haha. |
| _________________________________ [Sep 5,2005 3:27am - cav nli ""] and aparently i cant spell it right either...delia. haha |
| ________________________________________ [Sep 5,2005 4:09am - SacreligionNLI ""] bah that happens all the time we wrote a song called wages of sin and sure enough we found out that its the title of an arch enemy song...we didn't bother to change it anyhow, what i mean is that a lot of things have been done over our history as people...you're bound to find similarities in your art to someone else's...all that matters is the feeling behind it |
| ________________________________________ [Sep 5,2005 4:09am - SacreligionNLI ""] p.s. i'm fuckin trashed |
| ________________________________________ [Sep 5,2005 4:10am - SacreligionNLI ""] p.p.s. i meant "arch enemy cd" |
| _____________________________________ [Sep 5,2005 4:17am - the_reverend ""] you mean you are thrashed! |
| _____________________________________ [Sep 5,2005 4:17am - the_reverend ""] ps: my armpits stink. |
| ________________________________________ [Sep 5,2005 4:21am - SacreligionNLI ""] what were you up to? i didn't even put on deoderant today and i played a damn hard game of mini golf...yet i am what you would call "sure" |
| _____________________________________ [Sep 5,2005 4:33am - the_reverend ""] I haven't worn deoderant since I was young. it gives me headaches smelling it on me |
| ________________________________________ [Sep 5,2005 4:35am - SacreligionNLI ""] hey man...we're not in france here...this is the good ol U S of A...where you only smell bad if you're a hobo or a crazy person...or a crazy hobo person |
| ____________________________________ [Sep 5,2005 9:41pm - thedeparted ""] haha sent from the band who did the copying: This is what I sent them, maybe it can tell the story. But basically a freind came up with the band name at practice and we liked it... We were unaware that Dour Cursiva used the title.. We just heard it from our friend Josh and liked it. We are changing our name now.. Its tough enough as it is to keep origionality, and we would be pissed if someone was to rip us off as well..-Sean To Dour Cursiva: Oh man.. I'm sorry guys.. I just read what you sent and I feel like such a shithead. Sorry we werent trying to steal any titles or anything.. We were just looking for a name and a friend of ours came to one of our practices and we were throwing around names for the band.. Sorry we never really asked about it, we just liked it from the beginning. Sorry and all tho were not pirates and I don't want the band to get a reputation or anything.. unless we decide to wear eyepatches and stuff. Sorry for the whole thing... It was a concept name to begin with so we'll gladly change the name in no time.. I had a few I liked.. Again wicked sorry. Theres a million bands and a million songs and you don't think twice to check something out when you hear a good name.. Hope there isnt any bad blood you guys are sick.. I just listened to some stuff.. and I'm impressed.. IT would be an honor to play with you guys sometime.. - Sean ----------------- Original Message ----------------- From: THE DEPARTED Date: Sep 4, 2005 11:35 PM why are you stealing dour cursiva's song titles? |

| __________________________________ [Sep 6,2005 12:04am - cav nli ""] its not a big deal at all, i had a good laugh about it. thanks for sticking up for us rossi. |
| __________________________________ [Sep 6,2005 12:05am - cav nli ""] they already changed their band name. |
| ___________________________________ [Sep 6,2005 1:01am - PatMeebles ""] Speaking of rip-offs, this is so similar, I had to splice them together so you could hear it easily. http://users.rcn.com/brfaherty/Dystopia_Dickenson.mp3 |

| _____________________________________ [Sep 6,2005 1:32pm - the rooster ""] who cares if they use a song title to name the band. there's like 10 bands named after carcass songs (carnal forge, etc.). i could see if it were a direct rip-off or very similar to your band name, but song titles are not that big a deal. |
| _________________________________ [Sep 6,2005 1:55pm - brian_dc ""] yeah, I thought nothing of it...which is why I stayed out of it entirely. |
| _______________________________________________ [Sep 6,2005 2:14pm - mark fucking richards ""] a friend of TYAG let us know that there is a band on myspace called "1000 machines eat my flesh" or something to that effect...they stole the mp3 of our song "rotted entrails gagged by semen" and put it up on their site as "slash and gash cum..." something or other. they haven't responded to our messages and haven't even been online according to myspace for like a month and a half, so i'm guessin it's just some stupid kids playing a joke. but still, if that was legit, macabre mementos records would flip their shit and get tons o' money, haha |
| _________________________________ [Sep 6,2005 2:17pm - succubus ""] mark, you just need to contact myspace and they will delete the account for you...just explain the situation and give them all relevant info and proof and they'll take down their page |
| _______________________________________________ [Sep 6,2005 2:25pm - mark fucking richards ""] weeerrrd up, thanks carina... by the way, the band and i will be talking thursday night about when we can get promo pics done at our space when there is NO game goin on. we still want the live pics from the neuraxis show if you can still do it, just so there's no confusion |

| _________________________________________ [Sep 6,2005 4:22pm - BestialOnslaught ""] A COLD REALITY stole their name from the first CURSED FOR ETERNITY demo. |
| _______________________________________ [Sep 6,2005 4:24pm - ATNFAC_Vokillz ""] I heard that A Terrible Night for A Curse ripped their name off from some video game. what assholes. |

| _________________________________ [Sep 6,2005 9:40pm - ben nli ""] yo that dystopia / dickinson ripoff is fucking hilarious, the pauses are the same and everything, what a fucker bruce dickinson is |
| _________________________________ [Sep 6,2005 9:42pm - ben nli ""] what about Misery Index the band VS. Assuck - Misery Index? |
| ____________________________________ [Sep 6,2005 9:43pm - AUTOPSY_666 ""] "Misery Index" is a term used by the government. |
| ____________________________________ [Sep 6,2005 9:50pm - anonymous ""] dreaming in exile stole his name from me! |
| _______________________________________ [Sep 6,2005 9:52pm - DomesticTerror ""] so they ripped off the government... |
| ____________________________________ [Sep 6,2005 9:56pm - AUTOPSY_666 ""] Yay! |
