Beatfreakz told to withdraw single over Superman logo

Dutch dance act Beatfreakz have been told to recall their single 'Superfreak' because its artwork copies the Superman 'S' logo owned by DC Comics and Time Warner.

Dutch dance act Beatfreakz have been told they must withdraw their current single because the artwork on the release copies the 'S' logo from Superman's suit. The track, 'Superfreak', is currently at number seven in the UK charts.

A spokesperson for the band, who sprang to public notice following the single release of 'Somebody's Watching Me' accompanied by that 'Thriller' spoof promo, has confirmed that they have been told to recall the release, and remove the logo from their website. Label Ministry Of Sound have thus far made no comment, and lawyers for DC Comics and Time Warner, who own the copyright and issued the demands, have released no statement on the matter either.
