| Lightworks |
Heyz all,
I recently heard from a friend of mine that there was a track in Jon O'Birs list that had my name as the remix artist on it. I went to have a look at it and indeed, there was a certain (Lightworks Remix) in his list... which wasn't mine.
So, I contacted Jon O'Bir and he told me to contact the person that had contacts with this artist. I sent him a mail also trying to give me some info on how to clear things up.
My Lightworks project exists for about 2-3 years right now, and at that time when I chose it, there was no musical name like that yet. Though, I have some releases pending under this name, I was wondering what consequences this might have? Can the other artist just carry on with this?
Regards,
LW |

a friend of mine had the same problem, he is signed and suddenly there was a new release with the same artist name.
his label sorted it out for him, so i guess ur label and the other label will work it out aswell, otherwise just mail `em ;)
greetz,
mantis
btw. gooi es wat berichten uit je pm, ik krijg nix meer gestuurd:p |

it generally goes like this: depending on who released first, one of you will have to change ur name (namely the second person released).. see vaiio > iio.. sony already had an artist signed under vaiio :)
but yes i would say that it is for the labels to negotiate.. if you have copyrighted works dating back to before this person released under the name then you may have a leg to stand on regarding keeping your name - although i am unsure about that :) |

tell paratraxx now, because you have been signed to them for ages lol :) so they can sort it out, and if you need furthur proof, your mp3.com page can be backdated aswell.
even if you do lose your lightworks name which i doubt very much, icone is much better :D |

The track on O Birs site is labelled as Mark Otten - Mushroom Therapy (Lightworks Remix)
now I'm pretty damn sure it was (Lightscape Remix) as I have mp3s labelled as that. I pretty certain Jono made a mistake. :) |

hehe, good one ;)
well, if it's 'Lightscape' then i'm pretty relieved. I've contacted the one in contact with the original artist(s), he said he was gonna 'inform the boys' :) |
