The 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.”

Marilyn Manson’s confidential “stuff” are formally being kept concealed.

LA judge has agreed to a proposition requested by the rocker Marilyn Manson last week to have all financial and business records sealed for the period of the discovery procedure in the awaiting breach of contract lawsuit filed in opposition to Manson by his ex- keyboardist.

Michael L. Stern, a Los Angeles Superior Court judge ruled on the privacy arrangement on Friday, notwithstanding protests from attorneys for Manson’s ex- bandmate Madonna Wayne Gacy that the order was too extensive for the requirements of the case.
