MODERN DAY BATTLE  OF DAVID AND GOLIATH:ACADEMY OF COUNTRY MUSIC VS. ACM RECORDS  





ACM Records is fighting for it's name in a modern day

Battle of David and Goliath currently being played out

between the small independent record label based in New

Jersey and the Academy of Country Music, which allegedly

wants to use the title ACM Records to expand it's thriving

record business.





Despite the fact that the Academy of Country Music had 

it's trademark application for the title "ACM Fan Jam"

rejected because of alleged copyright confusion

with ACM Records' existing trademark, the organization,

which is known for it's annual awards show televised on

CBS, has filed a lawsuit against ACM Records

in the Federal Count in Los Angeles, California seeking

to prevent the well respected indie music label from

continuing to do business under it's longtime corporate

name.





Founded 20 years ago by Al Cohen and Eve Adams, ACM

incorporated in 1991 and registered the company's 

name in 2008.  On February 21, 2011 the United States

Patent Office rejected an application by the Academy

of Country Music for use of the title, "ACM Fan Jam,"

ruling that the name could easily be confused with

the ACM Records trademark.  Nonetheless, the Academy

of Country Music has continued to use the title, 

"ACM Fan Jam," to promote live music events and in 

2011 began to distribute compact discs under the name

"ACM ZinePak."





"We don't have a problem with the Academy of 

Country Music using ACM as their abbreviation," said 

the co-owners of ACM Records, "but we will not allow

them to infringe on our musical territory.  If 

necessary we may seek an injunction to prevent the 

Academy of Country Music from distributing products

that confuse the public as to their source.  The 

Academy needs to practice what many of their artists

preach:  America is all about fairness for the little 

guy."



ACM Records represents hundreds of recording artists

from all types of musical genres including rock, folk,

country as well as hip hop artists such as MCBEE-X, 

Shif-T, Warchild, Seven, Minister Kane, and the 

legendary Grandmaster Melle Mel among many others. The

label also represents songwriters, composers, and 

producers that have had tunes placed on major 

television network stations ranging from NBC, CBS, E!,

MTV, Discovery to FX on programs such as "Smash", 

"justified", "Law and Order", "Nikitia" and 

"Saturday Night Live" just to name a few, in addition 

to their artists songs placed in numerous feature 

films including the smash country hit, "Brokeback 

Mountain: and the hip hop classic, "Paid in Full"."

Mixtape Review: Mr. Boom Boom Bang's THE REBUILD

  

If the name isn't apparent, the music is. Mr. Boom Boom Bang creates a sound full of trap-rap samples and lyrics so braggadocios, it seems he might overdose on his self awareness of the drug, and game selling skills he possesses. Not to say the tracks aren't club or banger worthy, take “Hello Money” for example, it's an ode to a fleeting dollar bill that seems to allude him. This currency dilemma comes complete with triggered drums, string samples, and a frantic techno keyboard arpeggio to round out your next loud ride to the bank. Later, “Don't Trust Nobody” brings a claustrophobic dance phantasm of paranoia, in which the only cure is a trustworthy shotty. Some moments of greatness do show through on the mixtape, like the auto-tune vocals on the aforementioned “Don't Trust Nobody” which calls to mind something Kanye West would ghost write in between his croissant binges, or the “Good Ones” trap-lean amalgam that is consistent even through its Drake biting chorus. As somebody from the south I gotta respect the direction, but a little more grits, or K.R.I.T would helps the future of somebody who has promise crossing the divide from good to great, in either a pop or hardcore setting.
