O’Death An alternative to Pandora
Dec 19

In case you haven’t already heard, the R.J. Reynolds Company (parent co of Camel Cigarettes) and Wenner Media (publisher of Rolling Stone) are being sued bigtime over a Camel ad that appeared in Rolling Stone a few weeks ago. According to the Daily Swarm, Xiu xiu and Fucked Up filed a class action lawsuit claiming that artists’ names were misused for commerical advantage, and are demanding that Rolling Stone publishes a statement saying they did not have the artists’ consent (in a spread as big as the original ad). Oh, and they’re also seeking financial damages that could be as high as $195 billion. Ouch!
