The Smashing Pumpkins Filed Legal Charges Against Virgin
March 25th, 2008 by det.delarosaThe great 90’s alternative band Smashing Pumpkins are filing legal charges against Virgin Records, stating that the record company has unlawfully utilized their name and music in promotional transactions that damaged the group’s integrity with fans.
Filed in Los Angeles Superior Court, the breach-of-contract lawsuit contended that the rockers have “worked hard for over two decades to accumulate a considerable amount of goodwill in the eyes of the public,” and that Virgin’s exploit of the rock group in a “Pepsi Stuff” endorsement with Amazon.com and Pepsi threatens their character for “artistic integrity.”
