Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Sues Jewish R & R Hall of Fame - GoFuckYourself.com

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame has sued the online Jewish Rock and Roll Hall of Fame over alleged trademark infringements of the rock hall's name.

The lawsuit filed Monday in Cleveland seeks to halt the use of the name Jewish Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and award the Cleveland rock hall unspecified damages. The lawsuit claims the rock hall has sold more than $5 million in licensed items in the past 10 years, and the Jewish rock hall jeopardizes that brand.

The Jewish rock hall's site showed a single message Tuesday: Future Home of JewsRock.org.

"The idea that the public could possibly be confused between a large museum backed by any number of corporations and a Web site run by a couple of Jewish guys is kind of nuts," he said.

"It seems to be improbable that these people own 'rock 'n' roll,' it's entirely unlikely they own the phrase 'hall of fame,' and I know for sure they don't own the Jews," Goldberg said.

Following the ruling, the rock hall demanded the Jewish rock hall stop using its trademarks, similar logos and the words "Jewish Rock and Roll Hall of Fame," but the Jewish rock hall refused.
