A Canadian all-girl nu-metal band called Kittie have had to change the name of their record label after receiving a cease and desist letter from the company who own the intellectual property rights relating to Kiss (the band, not the radio station). Kittie announced they were launching their own label, Kiss Of Infamy, earlier this year, with a distribution deal in place with EMI. But bosses at Kiss Catalog Ltd claim the name was "confusingly similar" to their client's trademark, hence the legal letter. Not interested in going to court over the name, Kittie's label will now be know as X Of Infamy. Legal papers from Liberty X will presumably follow shortly.
