Mike from Division informed me of a Facebook page for a band called "Burning Shadow's". Their profile picture was our old logo (that we still use when the time is right, mind you).
"Adding an apostrophe to our name doesn't give you the right to steal our logo. Please discontinue use of our name and logo."
I also provided links to the Amongst the Dying Waves CD, which uses that logo, as well as our website and our iTunes page.
The next day, they responded, "O_O i really didnt know there was a band named burning shadows"
To which I wrote, "You had no problem finding our logo, but you couldn't figure out where it came from? And I see you haven't bothered to delete the images with [our] logo in it yet...."
Them: "i said im sorry gosh dnt gotta be mean"
Me: "Actually, you didn't say you're sorry."
Later, someone jokingly suggested, "Fierce Allegiance would be a good band name!"
You'd think they would have done an ounce of research after stealing our name. They went ahead and changed their named to Fierce Allegiance. So, someone posted a link to the real Fierce Allegiance's logo, writing, "Here's a good logo for you guys!" (They responded with "thank you dude ur great")
Minutes later, "DAMMIT THERE IS ALREADY A BAND NAME FIERCE ALLEGIANCE =("
I won't bother to tell you what they changed it to now, but rest assured, the name already belongs to a group that has music on iTunes. And as far as I can tell, these kids haven't even played a single note.
Epilogue: After the dust had settled, they asked me, "hmmmmmm r u guys like a real official band like on youtube nd stuff O_O"
Sigh.
