Iron Maiden is suing 3D Realms for Ion Maiden

so do they have a case or nah?

Oh fucking great, now it's never ever coming out. How do they even have grounds for a lawsuit? It's not the same name and it's not like there are Iron Maiden video games. Sounds like something they're gonna throw out of court.

good
fuck nostalgia fags

I like Iron Maiden and I'm gonna let you finish, but Painkiller is the best Metal album of all time. Of ALL time.

ion isn't the same as iron
hnggg

IF ANYONE SHOULD SUE 3D realms it should be alice in chains BAKA...

I'm sure that this is just soulless suits being twats but because idiots keep parroting the false news that the band members themselves are suing they're getting a really bad name that they don't deserve. Don't believe it for a second unless Steve Harris issues a statement saying 'yes we really are pretty twats'.

Yeahhhhh I don't know if they realized this, but 90% of the people playing this game will be too young to know of the existence of Iron Maiden

They're not going to win for the simple fact of the missing R in the game title.

Cool.
Ion Maiden's developers and fans have been behind the as of late relentless shitposting against Blood and Duke Nukem 3D so this will keep them busy elsewhere.

I already burnt my shirts and CDs. Fuck them.

What's this? Some sort of boomer band?

The shitposting is from that retard spamming his shitty Duke 3D mod, who actively shits on IM.

The font does appear quite similar to the Iron Maiden font, gotta be honest. However fuck Iron Maiden, I grew up on their music, but this just makes them worse in my eyes.

isn't iron maiden a medieval torture device? How can a band try to coopt a name that existed centuries before them and sue someone for using a different name?

didn't that chink game pubg try the same shit a little while back?

it's really good, but Painkiller is pretty bitch ass simplistic vanilla sounding metal compared to what came out after that.

Filthy Acts at a Reasonable Price and Flaccid Pancake doesn’t sound so bad now.

Lawyers were most likely behind the idea in first place, so it's a win-win situation for them.

Blame said soulless suits for starting this non-sense and putting the band members in a bad light.

shit band
shit game

Is Iron Maiden retarded?
Ion =/= Iron
>one is an energy beam
>the other is a metal

Metallica's beef with Napster had a gigantic coverage though, that's what fucked Metallica's image back then, I doubt Iron Maiden vs. 3D Realms will generate the same buzz.

>It also has a skull in its logo, which the lawsuit suggests is a reference to band mascot Eddie
Bullshit reasoning. First of all, you can't claim the human skull or skeleton as intellectual property, unless it's been extremely heavily stylized (like the Punisher logo). Second, Eddie is a zombie, not a skeleton. He's got a recognizable face, not a skull.
Though through the wonderous combination of drugs and dementia I guess it shouldn't surprise me these guys have forgotten what their own albums look like.

Does Ion Maiden have actual feminist supremacist propaganda and /or "men bad" undertones or is it just retards yelling "SJWs!" because female protagonist?

No, user, you're just a closet faggot.

Yeah instead they'll just let the suits speak and make an ass of themselves on their behalf, that's so much better.

to be fair napster really fucked over alot of acts

it's a torture device I guess, but it's not centuries old. No one used Iron Maidens to torture anyone, not in the middle ages, not ever. The idea is pretty "modern" and still way older than the band.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_maiden
>The first stories citing the iron maiden were composed in the 19th century. The use of iron maidens is a myth from the 18th century that was heightened by the belief that people of the Middle Ages were uncivilized; evidence of their popularity is difficult to prove.

5 bucks says this is all the legal teams fault, and the band itself doesn't even know this game exists.

It's that one idiot who's butthurt that Shelly isn't running around with her tits out.

It doesn't. One guy like a year ago said the old 90's concept art of the character was problematic because she had nice big tits and very little clothes.

You know, how we all used to like seeing women in our male majority media before the kikes and feminists took over.

Guilty Gear: exists

I've never played it because I don't buy early access, but don't you just shoot things? How is it SJW?

Judas Priest was always better, a much more varied discography. Mostly the 70s albums and Painkiller that are truly top notch though.

>supporting a literal leather bound cock sucking faggot

which shitty mod and does it have tits(that aren't already present in dook)

Rock bands always reach a point they go senile and start suing everybody, it's literally inevitable. Just remember the good tunes and forget they still exist, it's always at the point everybody has they think this kind of lawsuit is a good idea anyway.

Can a band really have someone initiating a lawsuit before asking your consent?

>sjw trash
is that because the main protagonist is a stronk female? if so, have sex.

I hope you are conveniently omitting based Defenders of the Faith just to force me to reply.

Yes, but it was the dawn of mp3 file sharing, the public was pissed about Metallica just trying to put a halt to the gold rush of file sharing, legal ramifications be dammed.

Absolute nonsense. The name clearly falls under the fair use act as parody. Fucking guitar bands are the most litigious babies.

Wasn't an enemy in Resident Evil 4 named Iron Maiden? Should they sue Capcom too?

So what will they settle and change the name to?

>Ion Lady
>Ion Lass
>Ion
>Bombshell 3D

Technically yes if the record label, manager, etc. can speak for the band, there are times a band don't actually own themselves anymore.

I should listen to music that isn't anime or videogame songs. I think I'm missing out cool sounds.

That's retarded.
You can't trademark skulls.

It's a great album (Screaming For Vengeance as well, and except for that shit heap Nostradamus they've had sursprisingly high quality after the reunion, though a bit stagnant). I even like they're wonky horseshit with synths and drum machines in the late 80s a bit, it's a rather unique sound at least. Sad Wings of Destiny up to Killing Machine and then Painkiller remains their peak stuff tho

Yes it does actually. It also has a gun that you can shoot enemies with that turns them into babes.

Well, it's more like trademark, but that's just madness.

absolutely, that faggot is more of a man than anyone here will ever be

There would have to be some consultation, but their lawyers wouldn't have such good careers if they weren't damn good at persuading and wrapping everything in boring legal talk.

He's also been shitting on Blood lately after Fresh Supply was released

They are suing on what they percieve to be a combination of stuff though (heavy metal theme, skulls), not just the name. It's ridiculous as it is but not even them would be retarded enough to sue any media ever to use the name "Iron Maiden" with no ryme or reason.

He's taken enough pozzed loads in his ass I'm sure his testosterone's levels are a billion % higher than mine sure

To be fair the whole reason that started was that they heard a leaked demo on the radio and wanted to know how they got ahold of it. Was still very gay of them to deliver the list of screennames though.

Do it this time, Pete, I'm begging you.

That actually does happen a surprising amount, yeah. Once you sell your intellectual property and merchandise the fuck out of yourself that's the risk you take.

Do Iron Maiden really have to worry about money? Don't they carry around 2 million as pocket money?

Its not fair use parody, its comepletely distinct.

Wouldn’t this count as satire? Making this lawsuit a complete waste of money on all sides.

People talk about how Maiden has some good later albums (Brave New World and the new one Book of Souls get talked up a lot) but they'll never have a comeback as hard as Judas Priest did with Painkiller. They'd released that shitheap Turbo and then Ram It Down which was half good songs and half pure shite, but then right as they were starting to be seen as irrelevant they pull out the best album of their career.

>Reeeee stop being gay
Grow up you manchild, or are you afraid you have more similarities with Rob than you are willing to admit?

Gets thrown out of court.

No in all honesty this is probably Bruce's doing.
Bruce is 90% business and 10% show but he squeezes all he can out during live shows. Don't be fooled though this mans knife hand is strong and he is not above being petty over things like this.

Metallica had more millions than they knew what to with it years ago too, didn't stop them from going full force against Napster. In fact being a millionaire/billionaire makes one more eager to sue, either to legit protect your brand or just be a cunt, sometimes both.

Iron Maiden is gay for doing this but they have a lot of great songs.

Classic metal is a good entryway into music from listening to video game and anime OSTs exclusively. Just make sure you diversify more over time.

He didn't say stop being gay. He just pointed out that the dude is gay, and hence he isn't that much of a man.

They shouldn't win anyway considering that Iron Maidens were something the band took their name from anyway.

Characters and stands get renamed in western markets when they are too specific. Like Iced/Chilled Ice.

I hope no one in the game is wearing a mask or else Slipknot will be jumping on that suit too.

>its comepletely distinct.

Don’t fool yourself just because the band is being frivolous. It’s clearly a parody. To deny this is almost concerningly idiotic.

Calling Painkiller a comeback is a stretch. They were at the height of their popularity during the 80s. Maybe by the time they released Painkiller it had weakened a bit, but they were still a top act.

Because you can always sue, a judge just laughing at it and telling you to fuck off is a completely different matter.

Trump said, fuck America and fuck white people, on the phone to someone while walking through the lobby. Shocking.

>1c

isn't this literally Russian mafia

>lars killed metallica by being a supercilious cunt about napster.
lars killed metallica when he lost creativity

The font is nothing like it.

Really? Bruce always seemed really chill to me. Do you have any examples of him being petty and litigious?

Just calling it Bombshell would be neat, especially if they had one of her older designs.
but is what will happen.

It really did come across like they hated their own fans, even after watching that documentary from the time. I still don't understand why they didn't try to go after the people that recorded and leaked the demo in the first place, only in Lars' distorted mind can attacking some filesharing program (before most people even have internet) sound like a reasonable course of action.

Japan's copyright laws must be more lax or have some workarounds, but Jojo names always get changed for the western market if they are music and band references.

Ironic May Den

Lars was never the creative force behind Metallica. Mustaine, Hetfield and Burton always provided much more input.

Ion Maiden is a parody of Iron Maiden, which makes it fair use.

Why are you disagreeing? Are you retarded and think it’s not a parody? Am I having a stroke?

Probably because they leaked it on purpose to be able to sue someone hosting it

c'mon, not even defending Iron Maiden, but the font is similar. No letters have curves and they all have sharp edges, both fonts use thick letters

Definitely, and there's a very good chance the band actually had nothing to do with this.

just trademark bullying
it won't hold up in court, although it was filed in california so who knows

iron maidens are a real thing that existed in history. their kike lawyers have to prove it's not just a reference to that. the bomb looks nothing like eddie, there's no indication that it's a reference it's just a generic skull. they're just being cunts

Slipknot sued Burger King for exactly that. Their chicken fries adverts had a metal theme with people wearing masks.

They should include a secret level that takes a jab at Maiden, like setting it inside of a 747.

Now, it's a bit of a special case because of what part of the world I live in, but I've been to a few Iron Maiden concerts and they tend to have a lot of young people in them.

Hell, one concert even had a giant group of kids join them on stage.

yeah, that font is also purposely similar to Iron Maiden font because the developers were huge metal heads.

>Ion Maiden (the game, not the band)
You know it's a bullshit case if you can drop the parenthetical clarification without losing any information. Ion Maiden is a stronger example of a name which qualifies for Trademarking than Iron Maiden.

The lawyers for Iron Maiden don't care. They will cost Ion Maiden's devs more money than they have.

Iron Maiden is not that obscure, everybody knows (at least by name) dadrock

people say the dumbest shit here because they overhear something and ego stroke even though they don't know anything about what they're saying but also while posting anonymously which doesn't make sense

real question
are the developers idiots?
don't they know about copyright?
I thought that it was a game based in iron maiden, they even said that there a song that could be in the game and fit perfectly...

i don't sounds boring as fuck

They have all chances to win.
Dont pretend like the first thing you think about is that torture device, when you hear 'ion maiden'.

>You need to be able to demonstrate an attempt to satirise, critique, or otherwise make comment on.

Satire is so easy to claim in defense that it’s the reason comedy can get away with everything except FCC violations. Satire has a very broad definition.

Metallica have 4 good albums and Mustaine wrote the best songs of the first two.

Don't be fooled by James's supposedly nice guy facade. He's as much of a cunt as Lars, but instead of being a cunning gremlin he is a meathead bully.

But I'm right. I constantly see Yea Forumstards say shit like that. Like:
>oh a teenager nowadays wouldn't know what a gameboy is

>dadrock

Scary how "Dadrock" keeps getting pushed forward. Dad rock used to be beatles, then it was led zepplin. Now it's Iron maiden, which is more late 70's and mid 80's. Thats only like 3 years behind A Flock of Seagulls.

These days it is common knowledge that Mustaine was the most important member of the band. He was a deranged druggie but he was 10x a better songwriter and player than every other member.
Hetfield only matured as a songwriter in AJFA.

They aren't trying to win, they are just going to sink the studio with the legal fees

Lars being a prick was definitely what I took away from it too, especially that scene with him and Mustaine. He's also clearly losing his mind under his own regret, disappointment and inadequacy and takes it out on everyone else pretending like he gives a shit about 'quality'. It's no surprise he was in that headspace when he decided on the lawsuit.

Eventually.

>implying

There are kids like that out there though. I work with a guy whose first console was a PS2 with Kingdom Hearts 2. You really expect all young people to know a handheld Nintendo from the late 80s?

Considering the Gameboy Advance was concurrent to the PS2 and fully backwards compatible, yes.

>Dad rock used to be beatles, then it was led zepplin
Both of those bands used to be active at the same time.

Kirk, Jason and Trujillo are the only guys that come across well to be honest. Really seemed like chill guys that just wanted to make good music that kept getting caught up in bullshit drama with them both.

keep it down dave

They've got to pay for their PReP somehow.

With the nature of trademark law even of they dont want to fo this, they have to.

You're the sheltered one then. There's no expectation or requirement for young people (or old) to learn of the past, so you shouldn't be surprised when whippersnappers don't know what's up. What you think is common knowledge very quickly turns out to be uncommon knowledge given a few years.

>Kirk and Trujillo are the only guys that come across well to be honest. Really seemed like chill guys that just wanted to make good music that kept getting caught up in bullshit drama with them both.

I don't want to start a megadeth vs metallica shitflinging contest so I'm just going to give you a big YIKES and we are done here.

>Mustaine
Maybe in 1983 but after that, Hetfield does ~80% of the work. He writes almost all the riffs though Hammett came up with some good ones too, like the main riff to Trapped Under Ice, the chorus riff in Disposable Heroes, and of course the main riff to Enter Sandman, which Lars also contributed to.

Run to the Hills is their only good song anyway.

The only thing Lars did was insist on accentuating his dogshit drumming on Saint Anger. And we all know how that turned out.

I never understood that
even Mustaine says that Metallica is better than Megadeth

He drinks too much. Also how does he have so much time to stream if he has his own firm??

This. Atari did the same thing to Jeff Minter.

Metallica gathered all their momentum while Mustaine was still in the band. They rode that hype for the rest of their careers.

I remember the first time I heard Nirvana on our biggest classic rock station. I wanted to fucking an hero.

What age is this person who was born? If it was around 98, they would have seen it even if they were not a user.

His parents were the type of believers where only allowed type of medication of kind for them was prayer. So the worst kind. He also seemed he was a shut-in(also possibly bullied) that needed Dave to do the talking between songs when he was still in the band and hit of booze before he could even perform that lead to the whole Alcoholica thing. And then they hit rockstardom that got way into his head.

Not condoning anything but just saying how he became what he is.

Holy shit this image is amazing.

Yeah, nah, those are all excuses. He was already a douchebag before his alcoholism got bad. He admits to using his large frame to try to intimidate people when he didn't get his way. He was always a meathead bully.

You can literally use samples from songs but unless it bares are resemblance in nature it isn't a copy.
Iron Maiden is copyrighted as a brand.
They can't copyright the name because an Iron Maiden is a thing that exists.

So as long as Ion Maiden doesn't have an Eddie wannabe or feature songs/samples by Iron Maiden they are fine.

Those three are actively trying to confuse the buyer though, if you had either of those names for a band no one would actually care or even be able to do anything

Wouldn't that be more like a band named Poly Station?

Ion Maiden isnt trying to copy Iron maiden though

That song has nothing in common with the novel.
Iron Savior's on the other hand...

The name of the game is too similar. They could get away with it if the game had a meideval theme and focused on actual Iron Maidens. But it's a metal themed game with a similar title and a simlar character name.

I think the game's title is going to be changed. Character name can stay.

Doubtful it'll actually go anywhere interesting. At most Nick would mention it and forget about it.

DUMP IT

nobody fucks with Harris

When you become a business, you become letigeous to protect your IP.

Because they can. They're bringing heavy metal back to the mainstream.

To be fair Lars had a point in the scene with Dave. Guy became a multimillionaire with Megadeth and is known among the best metal guitarists ever, and he STILL holds a grudge?

Nah he grew out of that around the St. Anger era. Now he's a dad who just wants to hunt and be happy with his kids.

Is there a living man more based than Carmack?
I feel like he's done so much cool shit while always having that smug expression on his face.

Kirk is truly based. In the documentary he's by far the most chill guy and always tries to defuse the arguments. Also Dave Mustaine fucking hates him for taking his job and playing his solos on Kill Em All, but instead of biting back he just let that situation be.

Firstly this just gonna get thrown right the fuck outta court, secondely im pretty sure theres gonna be some kino jokes and one liners thrown into the game dabbing the FUCK all over iron maiden after this.
>shelly stumble across an actual antique iron maiden in a museum
>she opens it
>its full of shit

what stopping them from having a vaguely similar character just to shit on him?

Mustane's counterpoint to that was that he didn't give a shit and he held a grudge because, in the fallout, he lost his close friend from childhood in Lars. Dave was trying to appeal to Lars' humanity and considering he handled it by repeatedly saying "B-b-but you're famous!" he showed it had withered away. There's also the fact Dave pleaded with them not to put it in the movie and they did anyway.

Does it still cost them lots of legal fees if the judge just throws it out of court?

Come on dude, there are plenty of 20th century bands that will be known forever, but Iron Maiden isn't one of them.

considering an Iron maiden is a physical object from the 18th century, this will be thrown out immediately

I just realized my complete retardation

No band is better than Judas Priest, this is a fact don't argue it.

They have a case. They could get away with having the character's name being a gender-swapped refernece, and the general metal theme. But they couldn't get away with the name of the game being too similar. These combine make a real case.

They will settle out of court, and the game's name will be changed. That's my prediction.

Judas Priest for for homosexuals.

why hasnt ac/dc sued electricty company for selling there shit? why hasnt metalica sued BHP for mining metals? why havent the sex pistols sued your mom and dad for having sex? this will just get chucked out in court

>for for

>devs says retarded shit on social media
ok? does that affect the quality of the game in any way?

Furthermore you're a fucking loser (and I know I'm on Yea Forums but even still) if you sit there and catalog the sociolpolitical views of game developers to make sure you're allowed to enjoy their products. Do you live your entire life in this ideological bubble? Do you refuse to drink water filtered by someone who tweeted something negative about Trump?

Pure autism.

The main character's name is different enough and IM has no 'metal theme,' in its music or aesthetic.

Nobody was talking about the game quality tard

never underestimate the greed of (((lawyers)))

I don't disagree with your general statement, but there's nothing political about Ion Maiden.

I hate that Rock and Metal get put under the same umbrella.
They're different genres with different philosophies.

Iron Maiden is Dadmetal not Dadrock

They don't, but the label's legal team is basically hired to do thuggery like this among other things. The great thing is that the band doesn't necessarily even need to know that this is happening, the label has all the rights to go through with something like this and sink some pissant game development studio just for an exercise.

Nirvana plays on classic stations because Nirvana appeals to the same kind of hot topic nu-male hipsters who like the Beatles.

The whole IP system has become a cancer worse than the problem it was trying to solve. So let me get this straight. A band who named themselves after an already existing object are suing people for using a name which rhymes with theirs? Fucking hell I hope iron maiden(tm) lose spectacularly.

Ok? then why bring the fact devs say dumb shit if it doesnt affect the game?

Dadmetal is shit. If you are nostalgic for some fucking Metallica or Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin you might as well kill yourself. Shit was Nickelback of its era, but now retards are worshipping it like it's a forgotten masterpiece.

Have a recording of Steve Harris complaining about Frank Herbert threatening a lawsuit of a name.

The song is about the Natives.
Regardless of what judgement you make about their current situation, it happened.

If they've got any political leaning it's largely anti war.
That song in particular has one stanza from the native's perspective, one from the perspective of American cavalry, and one that's kind of neutral.
>Riding through dustlands and barren waste, galloping hard on the plains
>Chasing the redskins back to their holes
>Fighting them at their own game

Yes, yes, however let's listen to music.

So you decide what you like based on what someone anonymously said on Yea Forums? You're naive and have a lot of growing up to do still, it seems.

This shitshow reminds me of Zenimax taking some indie devs to the court just because their game had word "Prey" in its name.
After the lawsuit was finished those indie devs renamed their game simply by changing word "Prey" to "Praey".
Almost the same thing will be done in case of Ion Maiden, 3DRealms and Voidpoint will rename the game while leaving all the stuff the same.
Trying to win against the moneybags is not worth the time and money.

>You can literally use samples from songs
Not if you want to make money.
Trap artist Bauuer had to give all the money he earned from the Harlem Shake to the person whose voice is sampled in the song

Don't tell them about Doom's font.

This will be thrown out and is a waste of everyones time and money. A judge will look at this and look at Iron Maidens lawyers and tell them to fuck off and find something better to do.
1. Iron Maiden does not own the term "iron maiden" it is an existing thing they have named their band after, they have no ownership of the title "iron maiden" or anything even hinting at such unless it is a band
2. the game has absolutely nothing, and I mean nothing, in relation to Iron Maiden mythos so how is it trying to ride on their name. It would be different if it was a band that was doing it and making music under an intentionally similar name, this is a videogame that has nothing to do with Iron Maiden in any way at all
3. Does Iron Maiden own fucking skulls now? Eddie is a zombie, not a skeleton, what the fuck is this grasping bullshit, do they seriously think they can pull skull imagery as being theirs because their mascot is a zombie? What in the actual fuck is happening.
This is an argument of percieved association, all Ion maidens developers need to say is "I havent heard of them and its all incedental" and the case falls apart, this whole ting operates on the assumption that the developers are going out of their way to ape off Iron Maidens image.

I just cant get over the skull thing, that is some galaxy brain level shit.

There is an Iron Maiden mobile game. This is why they are suing.

the word “teenagers” was never used until just before the Beatles arrived on the scene, courtesy of the Tavistock Institute for Human Relations.

As in the case of gang wars, nothing could or would have been accomplished without the cooperation of the media, especially the electronic media and, in particular, the scurrilous Ed Sullivan who had been coached by the conspirators as to the role he was to play. Nobody would have paid much attention to the motley crew from Liverpool and the 12-atonal system of “music” that was to follow had it not been for an overabundance of press exposure. The 12-atonal system consisted of heavy, repetitive sounds, taken from the music of the cult of Dionysus and the Baal priesthood by Adorno and given a “modern” flavor by this special friend of the Queen of England and hence the Committee of 300.

Tavistock and its Stanford Research Center created trigger words which then came into general usage around “rock music” and its fans. Trigger words created a distinct new break-away largely young population group which was persuaded by social engineering and conditioning to believe that the Beatles really were their favorite group. All trigger words devised in the context of “rock music” were designed for mass control of the new targeted group, the youth of America.

The Beatles did a perfect job, or perhaps it would be more correct to say that Tavistock and Stanford did a perfect job, the Beatles merely reacting like trained robots “with a little help from their friends”–code words for using drugs and making it “cool.”

The Beatles became a highly visible “new type”– more Tavistock jargon–and as such it was not long before the group made new styles (fads in clothing, hairstyles and language usage) which upset the older generation, as was intended. This was part of the “fragmentation-maladaptation” process worked out by Willis Harmon and his team of social scientists

This faggot deserves a bashing.

This.
The best thing in all of this is that it gives exposure to the game it otherwise would have NEVER EVER gotten.

it's basically free publicity for 3D Realms and the game.

>net neutrality
Sounds nice doesnt it? I mean the name sounds nice. Too bad it was anything but neutral. Just like the "affordable care act" nice names sound nice! Tell me do you use a landlines and cable TV, like your not neutrality would have turned your shit into?

>no R in the name means it's a completely different property and copyright isn't infringed upon
>Iron maiden isn't an orignal name in it's own right, they took their name off a well known torture device
>making thinly vield references isn't a sign of respect, rather infringing on copyright

Combined with the fact they aren't even in the same fields thus aren't deemed competition, there's very little chance this case goes anywhere. Which was one of the major factors in why Domino Sugar lost their case against Domino's Pizza.
