Crew Names Copyrighted? -
04-18-2007, 11:39 AM
Can you copyright a crew name? I know that there are a lot of people that will end up having the same crew name, but not know about it. I was wondering if there is a way to copyright a name or something, that way some other biters dont jack the name of a crew.

Short answer is no. To copyright a name requires proof that you have the right to legally control it and need that name protected. So basically you need to be a corporation. Also I believe its a 5 year process.

I think metheores is right though. If you ever find a duplicate crew battle them for the name. |

If Paris Hilton attempted to copyright a phrase: That's Hot!. I believe you could attempt to copyright your crew.
Obviously not worth it, unless you and Paris Hilton are on the same intellectual level. |

Who cares. Say ur name is copyrighted anyway.
Let's see how much trouble you can possibly get in. |

If you are signed by some company you are likely to have your name covered Copyrighted. In other words you cannot enter the Red Bull BC one being called Cico also. The rocksteady crew is most liekly copyrighted including crazy legs and so on because of the contract with Red Bull BC.

It takes an athlete to breakdance, but an artist to bboy.
Put it in your signature if your with me. |
