Meaning they're using names and indicia that are the intellectual property of Lucasfilm, Ltd. Not only that, but they're using it on material from which they're profiting. That's a copyright infringement and a big no-no.

In the way that people who use copyrighted/trademarked character names for their own benefit without giving something back to Poppa George tend to get a nasty letter from the Lucasfilm lawyers.

I've tried contacting Lucasfilm loads of times to ask if I can use the name but to no avail.  We're a local band in the UK and do not receive any profit from what we do, just fun!

He can buy the website name off us for a small fee though! lol

I doubt a co.uk address using Tarkin's name is much of a big deal to the owner of StarWars.com...



But rock on anyway!

He won it of us all in a late night drinking game and refuses to give us it back!

Does anyone know the best way to get in touch with Lucasfilm?

Cheers
