Default Tina Turner tribute act Dorothea ‘Coco’ Fletcher being Sued




https://www.cityam.com/whats-law-got...s-tribute-act/

[Music legend Tina Turner, 81,
sues a German tribute act for
looking too much like her.
The ‘Simply the Best’ singer has
turned to her ‘private lawyer’ in Germany,
demanding an unauthorised tribute
act remove her posters for fear that
the public may mistake the lookalike
for the real thing.]




This is Crazy
this Tribute act is helping
81 year old Tina's
Music to be sold.

Personally I'd rather if I liked them see the real artiste.
If that's not the case just listen to their music or watch their videos of recordings or concerts.

However, there's lots of tribute acts for Stars.
I don't see the point of them being sued.

I'd see it as a tribute myself.
Anything that keeps you in the spotlight and draws attention to your songs can only be a good thing.
As long as it's done in respect.

Fletcher is only in her 30s, maybe she should she Turner for saying she looks 81

its a brand copyright issue, not image appropriation. If tina thinks a tribute band is misrepresenting her then she has a right to sue over her image being tarnished. Anything else is just stupid

She is 81
no longer performing

The Words that she (Turner) has copyrighted
can be changed


The Show goes on.

The Best Way
is they pay Tina Turner
for using her Copyright Brand.


[Entertainment lawyers at Collyer Bristow state that
this case is unlikely to keep tribute acts off the UK stage,]

[Howard Ricklow, partner at
the firm said: “In asking ‘what’s law got to do with it’,
Tina Turner is hoping to use European
“right of personality” laws to determine
how her image is used in public.
Whilst much of European copyright law applies
in the UK, there is no such right in the UK.
Actions in the UK rely on “passing off” laws.”]

Sheila Ferguson thinks she’s much much more famous than she is.

Not a very pleasant woman. Massive ego as you can see!
