Activision vs. No Doubt case to be heard by jury

Thursday, 31 May 2012
The trial situation between Activision and the Gwen Stefani-fronted rock-band No Question over Group Idol will be observed by a trial, according to an Associated Media review. Excellent Court assess Ramona See on Thursday declined a movement by Activision's legal team to disregard several statements from the process, and mentioned the situation featured "genuine disputes" that a trial should consider.


The statements against Activision that See rejected to throw out were for scams, abuse of advertising privileges, and abuse of agreement. The case is predicted to go to test later this year.

No Question charged Activision in Nov 2009, declaring the creator had no agreement right to allow the team's in-game exclusive representations of personnel to be used to execute other musicians music. The group took exemption in its fit with having individual group associates execute other musicians music, particularly those that include effective lines such as The Moving Stones' "Honky Tonk Women." The fit statements this action changes the group "into a exclusive karaoke festival act."

Activision countersued No Question monthly later, saying it is "publicly known" that figures in past Instrument Idol games have been "unlockable" in the same style, indicating No Question did not work out due persistence before coming into into the contract.

And later that year, No Question won a partially success in the situation, with a assess rejecting Activision's invoking of a independence of conversation immunity in the situation. That wasn't the only drawback Activision has experienced in the situation, as a past make an effort to have the issue shoved up to a government trial was also denied.
