Mom? Can we have Pearl Jam?

We have Pearl Jamm at home

[bezoticallyyours]

My first dumb thought, "They're sending a cease and desist to themselves?"

Then I took a second look.

[zoeybear]

Should have called themselves oyster jelly

[srbrant]

It’s funny when they think a single M can save them.

[EmptyDomoKanti]

they could’ve used a whole number of other names, i’m boggled as to why they’d just copy the name.

[kangaroobot]

They should have just named their band Jam Pearl.

[itstruyouAO]

So you add a letter to the name, sell iconic similar merch and then try to guilt them with an open letter. Nah chill. Write your own songs.

One of the major reasons that copyright holders vigorously defend their copyrights against intrusions such as these is that you can actually lose the copyright completely if you don't.

[citiizenerased]

Yeah, I'm on real Pearl Jam's side here. You can't just add an extra "M" and think you're gonna get away with it.

Suggested band names:
Dumm Asses
Soy Jamm
Copyrights Be Damm

You'd think the tribute band would have more common sense to understand where Pearl Jam is coming from. They're not sending a cease and desist to ruin them during a pandemic, but because of current matters with fans getting confused and copyright issues. They really should have seen this coming.

[Tony-qzvq]

They're not your fans, they are Pearl Jam's fans.

[georgehernandez]

Should have called themselves.. Jeremy- " a tribute to pearl jam"

[antftwx]

First rule when starting a tribute band: NAME YOURSELF AFTER ONE OF THEIR SONGS

It's not complicated. They could've been called Even Flow, or Rearviewmirror, or Nothingman. Those are awesome band names.

[blakeoms]

And it gets worse, HE HAS A EDDIE VEDAR TATTOO. (Portlandia reference)

I hope you're all doing well in these trying times.

[Rtten.pach]

Just change your name to Pearly JamJams 😂😅

[jaquelinezini]

the letter is clearly an attempt to emotionally manipulate the band and/or the fans, to make pearl jam seem like the bad guys here

[kayakchrispy]

They changed their name to Alec in Chains

[thedude]

Yeah, that's a bit too close to the original name.
Should've expected this, and Pearl Jam are justified in their suit.
Change the name.

[biggabey]

Wow this feels like it’s escalating fast... I feel like it’s being taken too seriously and maybe they should just change their name and logo, and have it over with, right?
