I was surfin EBAY before and I came across a SAFIRE cd. Curious, i wanted to see what it was and it turns out that there is some group that called themselves "SAFIRE"! I couldnt believe it! I thought there is some type of copyright law that prohibits and stops anyone from using a name that had already been used or any similarities?

Kenny, I'm not an expert on copyrights, but I think an exact name is copyrighted.

There is a blues group out called Saffire.

Now, on Safire's debut cd, the name is Sa-fire, then she later dropped the hyphen. Maybe the unhyphenated name was not copyrighted?

It's happened before.



In 1975, an Enlish soul group called Sweet Sensation had a top 20 pop hit called "Sad Sweet Dreamer". Then, in the late 80's we got "our" Sweet Sensation.
 
lmao!!

i HEAR YA Chuck!

my best friends uncle was in the 80's R&B group "SKY" (they sang a few hits like "start a romance") and a couple of years ago, a new group came out called "SKYY" and they tried to sue but since they added an extra "Y", they considered it "not the same name" plus the fact that the original group hadnt toured in 10 years kind of put the nail in the coffin!
 
Yeah but was she Safire or Sa-Fire at that time? That could make all the difference right?
