Eagles frontman Don Henley is suing a Wisconsin-based clothing manufacturer over an ad he says is
a copyright violation.
According to Billboard, clothing company Duluth Trading Co. emailed out an ad for a shirt sale
which reads, "Don a Henley, Take it Easy." It's a tongue-in-cheek reference to the band's first single,
released in 1972.
But "Take it Easy" is the last thing Henley wants to do.
The ad in question

In the lawsuit, Henley accuses the company of taking advantage of his fame, and says the ad could
confuse people into thinking he's endorsing the shirts.
The blatant reference to the Eagles' song and the fact that Henley's full name is used are the main
components of the lawsuit filed in California district court.
A spokesperson for Henley told The Hollywood Reporter, "This kind of thing happens with some
degree of frequency and the members of the Eagles always defend their rights, often at great
expense. One would think that the people in charge of marketing for these corporations would have
learned by now that U.S. law forbids trading on the name of a celebrity without permission from that
celebrity.
"Both Mr. Henley and the Eagles have worked hard, for over 40 years, to build their names and
goodwill in the world community. Read veterinary john kennedy's online resources on SITE TOPIC
