Damn... thats fuct up... but X, if u change ur name they cant get you on shit.  And two, I dont believe they can even get you on this case....so you may be able to hold the name EXTRA LARGE.  Reason bieng is that the phrase EXTRA LARGE is too common a name for someone to copywrite, and hold exclusively for him/herself.  If he copywrited XKSTRA LARGE, then its one thing, because the name is unique, and sole in its spelling.  But Extra Large is the common, correct way to spell Extra Large.  And you cant hold a sole license to that name.  He holds a license to DJ EXTRA LARGE.  He cant stop people from using "Extra Large" as a title, name, or any other form of representation...


Its like if this.  I cant copywrite the word "LOVE," and expect to hold a sole license to it....and then forbid anyone else to use the word LOVE in a recording, or writing or anything...and the reason bieng is that it is too common a word, and not unique enough to grant a sole license to.

^Yeah maybe or maybe he holds the copyright to DJ Extra Large which wouldnt be so stupid.
Anyway why doesnt he sue all the clothing companys who make T-Shirts with Extra Large written all over the front

Right...and thats my point.  You cant hold an exclusive copywrite towards any term, phrase, or name, thats so widely used, and is common...  "Extra Large" would be impossible to copywrite exclusively....  They're just trying to scare you.  Ey dog u should be happy cuz if u got a letter from a lawyer saying they want u to stop using that name, it means ur name is gettin big enough for them to want to harass u!!!

I see that I'm trying to work some options with a limited budget for a lawyer ya know?

@ h.a.w.k. it's not about dissing somebody over a name it's about the way he went about it, first he sent me a e-mail saying "the name needs to change or there's gonna be problems", which I thought was vague and threatening...how can hope to negotiate when someone comes at you like that?  Nevertheless I hit him back asking why we couldn't work something out, and letting him know I didn't bite the name from him so I meant no disrespect.  However I didn't get a response back of any kind, not until his lawyer sent me that letter and on a human level that's just not a cool way to go about things, I was willing to work something out, even change my name if we could have just talked about it instead of resorting to vague threats and lawyers.

[XL Middleton]

And furthermore I'll say this much:

Aint gonna be no diss track, it's tempting on a hip hop level but I've changed my mind and decided not to, aint no telling what could happen beyond hip hop ya feel me? I've had a discussion with someone whose word I take very seriously and I thought it would be the best thing, if the West is gonna unify and recapture the shine we cant be dissing each other like it's a civil war out here or something!!! I know this seems like a sudden change of heart and it may be a bit disappointing to some of yall (cause everybody loves drama) but in the long run I've decided this is the best choice.

West-West!!!!  
And dont forget it!!!

[Trauma-san]

i think he can still get u even if u do change the spelling.

I agree, trademark issues are all about if someone can 'mistake' your name, for his name.  For instance... he's gonna say


I'm DJ Extra Large, and I'm well known, put out quality music.  When people come in the store, they see a CD by "EXXTRA Large", and they think it's me! So they buy it, whereas they wouldn't if they didn't think it was me.

= You're making money off his name.  You can't just misspell it and get away with it.  If it's even slightly confusing, they'll get a good lawyer to come after you and win.  

[Trauma-san]

^Yeah maybe or maybe he holds the copyright to DJ Extra Large which wouldnt be so stupid.
Anyway why doesnt he sue all the clothing companys who make T-Shirts with Extra Large written all over the front

That's not the same thing.  Nobody's confusing a t-shirt with his music.

here's another new name suggestion...

eXceL  

[ecrazy]

You Should Really Ask for something in writing before you officially change your name.....chance's are he's some internet cat jealous of you, so he's scaring you into changing your name

Trust me, this kinda thing happened when i was runnin "HotBox Radio" 2 years ago, it was all a hoax and in the end, we found out that you Cannot copyright a radio show name

[Jome]

here's another new name suggestion...

If you want Microsofts lawyers on your ass instead of DJ Extra Larges lawyers..
