I was just surfing around and came across this band from Sweden. Looks like they started out as Mos Eisley and the changed there name to Eisley too. When I say I can't get enough of Eisley this isn't what I mean. http://www.garageband.com/artist/eisley http://go.to/moseisley |

This pops up from time to time. I do not know if those guys are still a band. Their website says, " Look for a release in the end of 2002" and the last shows they had listed were in 2002. The US EISLEY has rights to the name now, so I am not sure about the Sweden band. |

a new person just joined because they first heard of sweden's "mos eisley" and then found the US's eisley through them. it's that...swedish...person. you know. THAT one. I think Chelsea's pulling a Dave Chappelle. Going crazy and leaving... I think it's common for bands from different countries to have the same name as one from the US. And it's usually all right if, say, a Swedish band doesn't really care to export their music to the US. Usually once a band becomes global, then copyright issues are thought of. _________________ Scriptozoology, a screenwriting blog .. Facebook |

That's hilarious! There's another band called Hanson too, (not the band we heard of) and their a family and have like all their kids in the band too.) I thought there was a patent law or something _________________ Don't you let them tell you you're an ugly child. They are blind to the beauty that lies within |

I thought there was a patent law or something i think its like a copywrite/trademark type thing. labels or w/e buy the name, so they can sue people if someone trys to use the name and get money out of it. like how eisley had to change their original name so they wouldnt be sued by gorge lucas. |

But you can't copyright book titles. Does it work differently with music? _________________ To Write Love On Her Arms the world is poor because her fortune is buried in the sky and all her treasure maps are of the earth. |

They didn't have to, they just did it to be safe because if it ever became an issue, the band would likely have lost a lawsuit. _________________ My photography:www.jamiemphoto.com You can't spell awesome without emo...backwards! -Julie definingawesome (11:44:11 PM): Eisley shivers our timbers |

I think you can't copyright band names however, you can own the rights to merchandise and distributing CD's under that band name so basically that's how you copyright your band name, but like... unofficially officially if anyone understands this post then you are a genious. _________________ The Barents Sea |
