Norman Fucking Rockwell - Pre-Release Thread

[Valerie 1,379]

The album title is garbage. Realize that, change it, and get over it

[Lanalouis1 2,510]

Y'all keep saying you "can't copyright" a name. You're confusing copyright with trademark, and they're not the same thing. People can trademark their name (Kim Kardashian, Christina Aguilera, basically any celebrity). People can trademark expressions ("That's hot!" "let's get ready to rumble"). Tim Tebow has even trademarked "tebowing" and that's an action!

 

I've warned you before and i'll do it again, because you didn't believe me, and then someone went and turned it into an April Fool's joke:

 

NORMAN ROCKWELL IS TRADEMARKED.

 

The Rockwell family is threatening to sue Interscope if they release the album with the name without their approval, or without an (exorbitant) payment for the use of the name.  Lana won't change the name, and Interscope won't release it unless she changes the name, because they don't want to pay any licenses to use the name because the licenses they want will eat up all the profits of what they expect to make from album sales.

 

The album is mastered and ready to go otherwise.

 

Bye, Felicias (again).

Who are you? Tell me your insider secrets

If it's trademarked then how come that other band made a song and titled it 'Norman Rockwell'??

You can use a trademarked name with permission, but idk if that’s the cause of the album delay lmao

I mean...surely Lana got permission. Interscope are a huge label, they must have asked first. If not, then I don't see why Lana can't give royalties to the estate. It's not like it would leave her poor

If the whole estate issue is the case then it could be because of Lana’s popularity and exposure! What was that other bands name, I don’t even remember and I’m sure they wouldn’t be getting as much publicity as Lana. It could have flown under the radar and the “fucking” part may be an issue.

 

I’ve hypothesized the whole estate holding it back before and it is believable but at the same time I don’t fucking know anymore lol! It could be any of the reasons we’ve gone over or a combination of diff ones.

 

Once finally released and the album cycle has been completed I look forward to interviews in the future that enlighten the whole workings of this slow album release! Kind of like the Dan interview about UV! Hopefully we get some insight cause I’m sure there is a lot happening behind the scenes!

You gays are so wishy washy. One minute we're dragging Eclipse for being a pedophile, the next you're kissing his feet bc of a few (probably faked) screenshots.

excuse me but what?

[American Whore 47,845]

I’d love to hear HTD has an extended outro with Lana adlibbing on the end like VB. That Instagram live vid where she sings “Shake that ass baby... what you gonna do about it babe... sing about it like you mean...” I need that to be in the final track

[MoreCruelThanYou 5,277]

It has been mentioned multiple times on this thread, by @@ilovetati I believe, that Eclipse dangled leaks over someone's head in exchange for nudes and they were a minor
