That Voodoo Moonshine band are morons.

I hope witch doctors will sue The Voodoo Moonshine.

The EP is already more popular than the band. If they were trying to achieve something, they failed spectacularly.

Nowadays you can get sued by just walking the streets it seems.

Careful, or The Streets might sue you.

Seems like an attempt from a no name band to gain some form of recognition by attacking a bigger name band who just so happened to coincidentally title an EP the same name as their band that nobody has even heard of. Tsk tsk.

Sueing because the EP name is the same? Like there wasn't tons of bands/albums named after other band's names/albums.

Next I'm gonna name my band "the" and sue everyone that tries to use such a word in their songs.

On a second thought I could always name it "of" =P

It kinda works for both sides.

That's true, but the suer is probably hoping to gain more than the suee.

No matter how you slice it the suer is gaining more attention than they would have if they just kept their damn mouths shut and not given a fuck like the rest of us.

Actually in copyright law it's really hard to protect a common noun like "bakery" "agency" "thing" etc. You have stronger cases when words combine like "The The" etc. Of course when it comes to music the rules apply differently because everyone wants to sound edgy, like !!!, La Femme, etc. But just to avoid not being protected, I had to add extra words in my business's name because it was all common nouns, and provide an AKA (which is the desired short name I had in mind first), so as to be able to be protected in both cases. Which is why I think they had to relinquish their EP name. "Voodoo Moonshine" is kind of a specific combination. Not that I condone the suit, those guys are fucking idiots. If bands had to sue each other over that stuff we'd have no more music to listen to.

Should have named it "the band Voodoo Moonshine are cunts".

Wow. That's a solid front-runner for the dumbest thing I'll read all year.
