sharing a name with a porn studio......

tgrokz · 8th July 2006, 04:44 AM

so im thinking of a name for my studio and it comes to me
Venom studios
just immedietly clicked with me. i love it. so i type in "venom studios" into google, and ofcourse its taken.....by a BDSM porn studio thing. its, appparently, also copywrited. im not 100% sure what it is, because i dont feel like looking around their website, but i know they arent a sound studio. Now i love the name venom. its perfect for the image i want to throw out there. can i still call it that, even though its totally differient from what they do? do i have to change it so like "Venom Sound" or something?

Wait till you sober up and realize it's kind of a sucky name and then move on to the next, less litigious name.

tgrokz · 8th July 2006, 05:34 AM

appreciate it

Fast Castle · 8th July 2006, 06:00 AM

Hahaha,... a graceful response. Hilarious.

Small alterations are all that's needed to a name, and you'd be surprised how many replicas there are in the world. As long as the businesses themselves aren't in competion (and are small) there's usually no conflict.

But anyways use this one, it's way cooler: The Venom Suite

big country · 8th July 2006, 06:17 AM

how do you copyright a studio name?

Nu Mixer · 8th July 2006, 06:49 AM

GO WITH "Venom Sound"

That name is dope if it fits your style

Faderjockey · 8th July 2006, 07:07 AM

How do you think I've felt.

We're Big Bang Audio.. Search big bang lots of porn..
But I've had that name before the internet was the internet... If I was smart I should bought some porn .com names...That could have paid for more gear by now.

woofhead · 8th July 2006, 07:22 AM

perhaps venom spittle or venom afterthought? maybe? or bush venom?or?

whoopsiedaisy!

woofhead · 8th July 2006, 07:26 AM

or perhaps:

whoopsiedasie venom antichrist DQ fudge? ( with pudding on top)

venom pudding of course!

does DQ still exist?in the USA?

tgrokz · 8th July 2006, 07:42 AM

hahaha i was actually considering venom sound when i wrote this before. thats probably going to be the winner.

uncle duncan · 8th July 2006, 07:55 AM

Denim Venom

Unless you're in San Fransisco

Jeff Goodman · 8th July 2006, 08:07 AM

I know what you're going through.

After I was born and my parents got good look at me, they named me Jeffy Wadd.

A bit of a curse, but damned appropriate.

I have two of them within 5 miles of me. For "exercise", me and the Mrs. ride our bikes to the closer one. Somehow, I don't think that we are going to lose any weight this way, but we will keep trying.

Wouldn't that constitute a reversal of the norm. Isn't usually the porn industry that changes the legitimate titles? You know Forest Rump, Tyra Banxxx etc....

Anyway I'm just funin' ya....I say if Venom Sound is what you want I doubt anyone would get the two confused. I like the name just fine.

Jim vanBergen · 8th July 2006, 07:18 PM

Venom Sound or Venom Studios will be great to bring in the hair & metal bands. Go for it!

tgrokz · 8th July 2006, 11:53 PM

haha a friend of mine said the same thing about the metal bands. good lord i hope thats not true.

How could it NOT be true?

How about Monev? It's Venom backwards and it's one slanted line away from Money.

AlexLakis · 9th July 2006, 12:12 AM

Yeah, I wish I knew what I was getting into when I chose the name "Anal Studios..." Oh well, at least my studio's always packed...*ahem*...

s00p3rm4n · 9th July 2006, 12:31 AM

You've gotta learn to think ahead! That's why I copyrighted "Chocolate Thunder Studios" when I was in 2nd grade.

gracejames · 9th July 2006, 12:32 AM

>does DQ still exist?in the USA?

Yes, they do. Their regular hamburgers are actually
really good. Today is a good day for a chocolate
on chocolate dipped cone with venom...

i'm not a big fan of the word......venom.

elambo · 9th July 2006, 01:32 AM

Venom Sound is a very cool name, but it's definitely going to affect your bookings. Metal bands all day, all night. All night anyway.

jdg · 9th July 2006, 02:36 AM

legally its OK if u are both doing different types of business.

are they recording bands/music?
or you producing porno?

if yes to either of those questions.. u need to pick another name :)

tgrokz · 9th July 2006, 03:08 AM

the studio i do all my porn in is called "uncle aaron's house of pudding pops"

so we shouldnt have a problem

blackbox · 9th July 2006, 03:18 AM

venom studios...

sounds like something outta g i joe. does cobra-commander cut tracks there?

Bluzzi · 9th July 2006, 03:38 AM

Of course it doesn't help when tgrokz's avatar resembles a caricature of male genitalia!

artbeat77 · 9th July 2006, 03:46 AM

Yeah, like somebody said above, it should be fine if you aren't in competition. Apple just went through a thing like this and won:

Jay Kahrs · 9th July 2006, 06:23 PM

One of my buds used to be a house engineer at the Magic Shop in NYC...

http://www.magicshopny.com/

He said they'd get calls ALL day with people looking for trick playing cards, top hats, slight of hand books...

They used to joke & say that if they kept a closet full of magic dust they might make more money with that stuff then real bookings!

LMAO

And yeah...Dairy Queen is alive & well in the states. There's at least a few in MA and a couple three in NJ...I pass one on my way to Shop Rite at least once a week.
