Rapper Diddy fined for name-change http://news.yahoo.com/s/a...0909153540
LONDON (AFP) - US rap superstar Sean Combs must change his name once again after losing the right to call himself Diddy in Britain to a disgruntled little-known music producer. Combs, 36, who used to call himself Puff Daddy, Puffy and P Diddy, agreed to pay more than 100,000 pounds legal costs and 10,000 pounds damages as part of a settlement sealed earlier this week at the High Court in London. London-based Richard Dearlove, who has traded under the Diddy name since 1992, sued Combs after he dropped the P from his moniker, under laws designed to protect commercial interests from unfair competition. "He changed his name to Diddy. I was gutted," Dearlove told The Guardian newspaper. "I started getting emails from Puerto Rican girls asking if they could be in my video and people were asking me to look at their clothing line." Combs, who presides over a vast media empire and fashion lines, and whose hits include "I'll Be Missing You", will now have to rebrand himself in Britain, which could prove costly. | |

So, he has to reprint a few album covers.
Remember when Bush had to be branded as Bush X in Canada? | |

Did this have anything to do with the late Dominic Troiano's former band Bush? tA Tribal Disorder http://www.soundclick.com...dID=182431 "Ya see, we're not interested in what you know...but what you are willing to learn. C'mon y'all." | |

I vote for Did He?. That way, the British will make it sound the same. "Whitney was purely and simply one of a kind." ~ Clive Davis | |
