    Go to hell, Courtney. Now. Seriously.
     
     
     
    I'm glad she's suing though.

    If she was suing, she would file a lawsuit.. not twiter about it. If she has the rights to his image then she signed off in it. If not whoever owns it did it, either way I seriously doubt Activision is in any legal issue here.

    I dont see why she should care, i would be flattered if my dead partner was on guitar hero... >_> 
    Alright, i know its probably a little uneasy for her to see him in that form but whatever its all abit stupid  that she is reacting like this after all these years. and the rape thing isnt wrong considering he wrote a song about rape himself??  
    selfish little woman...

    aaaaw, Ain't she cute and all.. Trying to actually doing something with her life.  
    I don't care how "Disrespectful" people think this is (morons) but Kurt Cobain actually wanted something like this to be made.  
    So I SERIOUSLY doubt he would have aaanything against this. Bitch is just pissed 'cause she's not getting paid..  
     
    But enough about her, her face gives me nightmares.... 
    Now the fact that Kurt and Courtney were together, now THAT'S disrespectful, he could have done so much better than that ugly thing that reminds me of a chemical toilet..

    @ZeForgotten: There is absolutely no way Kurt Cobain would have signed on to something like this if he was alive. Guitar Hero is pretty much everything that Kurt Cobain was against.

    I get the impression Courtney Love thought she was just signing for Cobain's likeness to be used with Nirvana songs, rather than any song in the game.

    @Milkman: Not something exactly like GH, no, but he was interrested in something similar. There was a long interview with him a while back where he talked about wating to make something like it. And to me it sounded like a Guitar Hero or Rock Band kinda game.  
     
    Don't know where exactly you live, but I'm in Denmark, and they showed an interview with him, not sure if you've seen it.

    so.....shes bitching, and some people in this thread are bitching....Because courtney love likely in one of her drug stuppers gave activision permission to use Kurts likeness on an avatar in the game concering a Nirvana song...The avatar is tastefully done.....yet people are still bitching?
     
     Its not like hey! Kurt Kobain is in there it means they are capitolizing him....duh?! thats the whole reason they likely paid Courtney *druggy* Love lots of money to use that likeness....

    It's not, I do too despite what I say earlier. I do agree it is a form of rape, I think it's ridiculous that his image is used like this, but the way she's going about this, commenting openly on a community site, like twat. is well worthy of ridicule.

    They're a business, that's what bussinesses do. 
    I don't like it either, but the business world is a truly frozen cold one. If there's something that a company can capitalize on it makes sense, and I agree, that it should be tried. Otherwise there would be no such thing as an economy and we'd still be living in the poor district of "ye olde england" or where ever everyone is from.

    Curt Cobain was a no talent loser! Who cares what they do with his likeness? I do agree that it shouldn't be in the game but not because its a form of rape ... but because I'm sick of hearing about him. Get over it! He's dead! Let him die!

    I think it went a little like this (so I don't have to spell her name more than once and because she has now reached the bitcheyness level of Jennifer Lopez, Courtney will hereby be refered to as C. Lo: 
     
    THEN 
    Activision: "Hey, if you aprove of us using your husband's likeness in Guitar Hero, we'll give you money" 
    C. Lo: "yeah, whatever.  What do I have to do? 
    Activision: "Just sign this paper stating that you're okay with him being in the game" 
    C. Lo: "Okay" 
     
    NOW 
    C. Lo: "My friend told me that his cousin's son just played guitar against my dead husband!" 
    Activision: "you signed the deal saying that was okay." 
    C. Lo: "I don't care!  Take him out of the game!" 
    Activision: "But it's already released.  We ca---" 
    C. Lo: "RRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAPE" 
    Activision: "Look, you can't just sign a contract and expect it to be null and void after you get paid for i---" 
    C. Lo: "RRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAPE!"

    Why is this news? Courtney Love is crazy. Whoa, hold on, really? And why the hell is Kurt Cobain famous? Yeah, he made a few songs and produced two actual studio albums. Big shit. Dave was there too going on to form the Foo Fighters who have been a band now for fifteen years. Way more staying power and finished music from Dave and his follow up band. Kurt is a musical foot note at best. Maybe, if I close my eyes this whole thing will just go away.

    Yeah, it's weird and seems very awkward to see Johnny Cash or Kurt Cobain performing songs that were so different than their own material or style.  Courtney Love probably signed off to use Kurt in GH5 but I bet she didn't take time to explore what that would look like in detail.

    There's something surreal about a band consisting of Avatars on bass and guitar, Johnny Cash singing, and Kurt Cobain on drums. Especially when they play Sweating Bullets By Megadeth...

    Yep, heard about this already.  Especially after playing The Beatles: Rock Band, I feel like this use of artist's likenesses the way Guitar Hero does it, but I don't believe that they're in any sort of legally wrong position. 
    C. Love probably signed off on this without any second thoughts, and thinks it's some kind of big insult to have Kurt as an avatar in there.  Yep, having your hubby next to figures like Johnny Cash and Carlos Santana is truly a slap in the face.

    Though I agree with her, she is definately a fruit cake of the highest order.  She probably signed it while she was high.

    Now I don't want to be cruel here, this is a wife who is grieving over the use of her deceased husband as part of what is partly a tool to make money. I'm not sure how I, myself feel about the use of Cobain's image here and I could go off onto a whole rant about that but I'll spare you the wall of text. I think this was handled incredibly badly by Love who seems to have made somewhat of a legal mistake somewhere along the line, but then instead of trying to put all her efforts into giving the public a structured representation of the situation and handling things in a way that could be taken seriously, she releases this muddle of extremely poorly written statements. These statements do nothing to help her be taken seriously and definitely won't make most people worry about any kind of misuse of Cobain's image. For once I don't think the major corporation is in the wrong here, they actually went to Cobain's widow for permission to use his likeness and only did so once they got the go-ahead from her. I think if anything this is a lesson that you should always read what you sign and try to present yourself properly if you are dealing with any kind of major company.
