Someone Pretending To Be Me - What can I do?

[illandnatti]

sue him for copyright infringement

I've followed your posts on here for a while Basic A, and I think you are a stand up guy. Just that fact that a respectable producer such as yourself is being stolen from in this way is ridiculous.

In all seriousness, if this sort of thing continues, you can (and probably should) sue him. If he somehow continues to get gigs using your material you can call the law down on his ass. What you want to do is talk to an intellectual property lawyer. Also, like other people said, spread the word to labels and other venues and let the managers know about this wanker.

I am happy to provide whatever support I can. I have connections with the Subdivision Bass crew, who I know operate out of Pittsburgh some, but they are probably too big for the likes of him. If there's ever an organized community raid on his facebook page you can count me in.

just report his facebook page to facebook - under the options one of them will be fake account/impersonation.

good luck bro, this guy sounds like a huge douche.

Did this last week. You see how far it got.

Now... if massive quanities of people did it maybe... but...

When you hit report, you can click 'PRetending to be a celebrity' and list my page , or you can add me and use the pretending to be someone I know form.

This is mental. Not on Facebum, or I'd try to help.... Good luck anyway mate, hope you get it dealt with soon.

what a dickhead!!!
never really thought shit like this happened... other than the dj stealing a mix a while back.
however I am in if theres a coordinated spam thing going on at some point and i am spamming once i get home aswell.

other then that i would definitely smash his face in if I were you.

[wizeguy]

wow.... what a c*nt,
find him, cut him!

maybe slice the A into his forehead

[brasco]

The man's blatant attitude problem is something we see a lot more in this genre nowadays. Sad how inevitably you attract people who only want to make money, and as quickly as possible.

Basick sickness, to me anyway, makes more sense than Basick A. Sickness... the A. In this case is totally unneeded and in my eyes has only been added for one reason.

[Basstronomer]

Sue him, no mercy.

[Basic A]

the A. In this case is totally unneeded and in my eyes has only been added for one reason.

EXACTLY!!!

My A. means nothing to anyone but me, theres no excuse for that except riding my dick.

Seriously though, if anyone has a free moment, report this asshole. Use the link at the bottom of the first page of this thread, hit 'report', click 'pretending to be a celebrity' and list http://www.facebook.com/pages/Basic-A/ in the feild when they ask who...

Im going to try to look into pursuing a claim for my name trademark if it goes on much longer. Thats a very expensive process though, it'd be nice if he would jsut remove the A. from his name, like brasco said, there is no excuse.

[snypadub]

[wizeguy]

"@basicksickness heard you been stealing peoples mixes and stuff and promoting it as your own, if that's true?... your a dick"
