Talk:Little River Band
Australia Unassessed | ||||||||||||||||

Nobody "won" the Federal Court case in Australia. The action was settled out of court. See http://www.austlii.edu.au/au/cases/cth/federal_ct/2002/875.rtf for the court documents that state "The parties do not wish to continue with litigation."
its sad what happened the the original lrb; being cut from THEIR band, and then being sued for using a name which THEY CREATED,
well i suppose that's what money does. Do you think it's possible to add a separate chapter on the disputes had over the 'little river band' name? Because it is a large part of the story of the little river band, and their ultimate 'demise'.
Perhaps not a wise move: both parties, and their respective fans, hold very strong opinions on this matter and rarely agree. I doubt very much if a wiki could be written that is agreeable to both sides. I suspect that it would be subject to constant revision as each side vists Wikipedia. The current LRB article acknowledges the issue without causing too much angst. Best to leave it that way.
