EMPIRE In Legal Fight Over Use Of Show Title From Record Label!

21
Oh now that the show is that talk of Hollywood, NOW yall wanna sue?? Please, have several seats!!! #haters
Its all about the moolah…nothing else…if it tarnishes their image as they so claim, why would Empire Distrubition want any part of it? MONEY, MONEY, MONEY! I bet there wouldve been no fuss hadnt Empire not been the most talked about show of the season!!!
Ridiculous. Every time I turn around; someone tries to attack the show. Whatever.
Once something is successful all the roaches come out of the woodwork with tentacles out for a piece of the pie.
Bogus demands? I don’t think so. Fox created a fictitious label and apparently used a real-life label’s name without permission! Uh, hello? Where was the legal team’s due diligence. Sounds like a legitimate complaint, and Fox’s legal team should be shown the door!
There are thousands of Empire labels..
Empire Carpet for one ..
Question is; who owns the word Empire? .. lol
ED justs wants a cut of the action. Don’t blame them for trying, but anyone who can’t tell fiction from reality isn’t worth it.
Nice try, but association with the #1 on TV does not “tarnish a brand.” This lawsuit will not survive a motion to dismiss. “Empire” is about as generic a name as one can dream up for this sort of show and/or a record label. They also made a huge mistake by saying they’ll take less if the stars of the label get to be on the series – undermines their entire argument that the series tarnishes the brand. The label needs to fire these attorneys – this lawsuit was dreamed up by the attorneys to make $$$$ because it has… Read more »

All I can say is lol. Should have done some research
Another frivolous lawsuit. It’s all about the money, publicity, and ambulance chasing lawyers. So maybe one of other companies that have Empire as part of their name should sue Fox or Empire Distribution for tarnishing their companies name with the bad publicity generated by either/both a homophobic father or questionable lyrics in some hip-hop lyrics. Or sounding too much like a Marvin Gaye song.
Hollywood: Home of Whores.
Ha! Maybe Baretti’s behind it!
Bye, Felicia.
Meritless
thee #1 show of all time… or near that…
and… thee #1 album…. soundtrack… also a record… coming from a tv show
which bums me out… with regard to album debuts
it beat out Madonna : “rebel heart” which came in at #2
#1 show of all time… if you factor it in all the criteria
impressive
I’m so happy for the whole cast
simply have got to give prop to Taraji P Henson and Terence Howard
“thank you”
Patrick, I like the show and ratings are pretty great, but why are you saying it’s the #1 show or near that of all time? That is simply not true.
NY state is suing as well, claiming Fox stole the name from them, the Empire State.
I might have believed them if they didn’t throw in that bit about having their own artists featured on the show– that demand throws their case out the window. Otherwise I did think they had a case– not that I think anyone really would confuse the a real company with a fictitious one, but just the possibility it could should have been enough to get some cash out of Fox, not eight million dollars, but something —- of course their motive is money and self promotion, but a lot of civil lawsuits are about that and that is why judges… Read more »
haters just want money . I love Emipre
they’re not haters…they just want compensation…or publicity. whether they’ve got a case is for the lawyer’s to decide…but I doubt they’re hatin’.
