One Direction heading for name lawsuit?
One Direction Oh dear, here we go again.
UK boyband One Direction could be about to find themselves in court after it was revealed that a US rock band have the same name as them.
A US group called One Direction released their debut album back in February 2011, and UK fans of the X Factor 2010 competitors have not taken lightly to the Americans trying to usurp the name.
One fan posted on Twitter, “Dear US One Direction, UK One Direction were here first. Sincerely, change your name and gtfo.”
The UK boyband could hit problems when they take their tour the States, especially when their debut single is doing well in the charts over there.
Although it seems likely that the UK boys will get to keep their name, no one seems to really know when the US group formed, but they wanted to make sure that everyone over here knows that they don’t want any bother.
On their YouTube video, they said, “Guys guys guys, we don't hate the 1d uk and they don't hate us,' they write on their YouTube channel They said they like our music and visa versa. We understand your fan pride runs deep but dismiss the name and what do you have? You have music, weather you like it or not just let us know :) we don't need to hear it about the name because it doesn't matter when it's about the music. We haven't done any hating in the other band and they think the same of their fans to us. Have a good day!”
Well it all seems fair, although they seemingly can’t get a grasp of spelling if they can’t spell the right “whether.”
At least our boys can probably manage that.
