interesting points... yet, big stars have lost infringement cases ie George Harrison but; even if that is the case, and you lose the suit, it is great publicity. publicity is sooo important, so even if you pursue it, and lose the case, you will get your band's name mentioned in the press, and perhaps, even some interest from labels. win or lose, it's worth the effort.
