Yeah it sucks but the painter will probably lose. The article I read was he gave the impression on the site it was the country singers work.

The painter should win, I didnt see any impression that he was the country singer where does he do that?

If it was mine I would do paintings of the Singer fucking Tom Criuse.

Im sure they offered the guy some cash for it. If I was the painter I would seek a settlement and move on. Keith is an awesome guy Ive met him several times, and am friends with 2 of the guys that play on his tours.

I don't think very highly of him for wanting to take the dudes domain name. And not only that - he's trying to get money out of the guy.

I just wonder how much is him, and how much is the label though. Ya the damages isnt cool. The painter should of put up a link at the top of the site, if you were looking for Keith Urban the country artist click here etc. Sounds like there is more to the story here. I would bet that article was done after the artist guy contacted someone about it. The labels can be nasty about stuff like that.

I understand that labels can be a pain in the ass, but I think that Keith could stop this if he really wanted to. He's been around long enough to have some say-so about his business.

Don't really see any reason why he should have to give it up... :-/

pinky_julia · 02-07-2007, 12:02 PM

the domain name should be owned by the person who got it first. if he doesn't want to sell it - it's his choice. IMHO

Fizzgig · 02-07-2007, 01:25 PM

If it's his name, he should be able to keep it.

Totally agreed. First come...first serve. Blame Urban (or his handlers/management/label) for missing the boat. Sueing the current owner is abuse of his celebrity status and financial power.

MandyBlake · 02-07-2007, 03:11 PM

that's fucked up. he should be able to keep it.

Keith Urban Files Suit Over Web Address
By JOHN GEROME
Associated Press Writer

NASHVILLE, Tenn. ? Keith Urban, the country singer, has filed a lawsuit against Keith Urban, the painter from New Jersey, claiming the painter's Web site violates federal trademark laws.

The lawsuit, filed Friday in U.S. District Court, says Keith D. Urban of Wayne, N.J., is using his keithurban.com domain in a deceptive manner and for commercial purposes.

The Web site includes the statement: "You have reached the site of Keith Urban. To those who don't know, oil painting is one of my hobbies." It then directs viewers to a gallery of paintings and offers a limited edition of prints for sale.

Urban ? whose Web address is keithurban.net ? argues that the New Jersey man is misleading people into believing the Web site belongs to him and is selling merchandise as if it were produced or endorsed by him.

He accuses the painter of federal trademark infringement, dilution of a federally registered trademark, federal unfair competition and violation of the anti-cybersquatting consumer protection act and the Tennessee consumer protection act.

The New Jersey Urban didn't respond to an e-mail sent Tuesday through his Web site seeking comment.

The lawsuit doesn't specify monetary damages, but it seeks transfer of the address to the 39-year-old country singer and an injunction barring the painter from operating a Web site that suggests any relationship with him.

Urban, whose full name is Keith Lionel Urban, married Nicole Kidman last year. He recently completed three months of treatment for alcohol abuse.

His hits include "Stupid Boy," "Making Memories of Us" and "Who Wouldn't Want to Be Me." He is preparing to launch a world tour this spring for his latest album, "Love, Pain & the whole crazy thing."
