No Doubt Files Lawsuit Against Activision Over Band Hero

November 5th, 2009 // Leave a Comment

The members of No Doubt are suing videogame company, Activision, over the company’s use of the band members’ likenesses in Band Hero. Gwen Stefani, Tony Kanal and the rest of the gang claim Activision has “transformed No Doubt band members into a virtual karaoke circus act.”

In response, the company defends its position by saying, “Activision believes it is within its legal rights with respect to the use and portrayal of the band members in the game and that this lawsuit is without merit.”

So, what exactly are the musicians doing in the game? The band claims that they authorized use of their images for use to perform three of the band’s own songs and were upset to find that their characters are being used to perform in more than 60 songs.

They’re also not pleased with the choice to feature bassist Kanal singing “Just a Girl” in a woman’s voice. Yeah, I could see how they would be pissed about that.
