    Why now you don’t cease and desist?

    Two cents as a lawyer: people overestimate their ability to do the right thing voluntarily.  A cease-and-desist isn’t a law suit; it’s a formal way of warning someone.  It’s nice to think that this by-all-accounts pleasant group of musicians would just stop using the band’s intellectual property if they got, say, a personal call from Ed f-ing Vedder and they resolved it all amicably, but (1) that assumes that these guys simply had no idea they were using the band’s name etc without consent, (OF COURSE they knew they what they were doing) and (2) it incentivizes people to do the same thing.  (Use the bands stuff in a way that gets Eddie Vedder to personally call or write you).

    I have absolutely no issue with this happening how it did.  Don’t like getting a legal warning from your favorite band?  Don’t give them a reason to.
