“I really don't see what his gripe is or legally where he is coming from, I am not guilty of cyber squatting or passing myself off as him.”

Erm... well you are in a way, or you wouldn't be much of a tribute act.

This guy must have made a decent amount of money over the years and all on the success of Marvin Adi.

He should pay some royalties !

Had it been (from the beginning, continuously to this day) a site about recipes for meat loaf, there's no issue, but the current case does sound like classic "bad faith" cybersquatting because of the use being made of the name.

You could just as easy argue the tribute act helped the original stay in the public eye and increased sales of there albums.... 11 years long time.. Meathead been made bust 2 prob bust again he does like suing though didn't he sue his manegment and the guy that made him more than a backing singer in the first place well try for 50m

Although one good thing might come of it one less band singing his awful songs so every cloud as they say....
