You'd think after nearly 30 years of this, Madonna might know how to avoid a trademark lawsuit. At the very least, you'd think her Interscope / Live Nation partners would be able to shoot her a memo. No such luck. She still managed to name her latest single "Girls Gone Wild" without the permission of the popular porn franchise, and creator Joe Francis is not letting her off easy. He's already gotten her to change the title to "Girl Gone Wild," and he's not done yet.
Frances told The New York Daily News, "We won a battle but we didn't win the war. I actually really like the song, which doesn’t mean anything. It's business. We've been very fair with licenses. And we've been talking (with Madonna's people), and I think we're going to get somewhere that will be mutually satisfactory ... This is not personal at all. I’m flattered, quite frankly, that a brand I’ve developed and created has achieved this level of notoriety." Do you think Madonna's song title change from "Girls Gone Wild" to "Girl Gone Wild" is enough?

Seriously, I think trademarking, patenting, and copyrighting phrases and a few other things is just foolsplay, but since people think this is so important to the human race, then people should follow the rules.
It wasn't even trademark infringement the old way.
Ludacris already has a song called "Girls Gone Wild" from 2006.
We could release a single titled "Just Do It" tomorrow and Nike couldn't do squat to stop it.
Her for going there, and him for responding. They should Build a bridge, and jump off it, I mean get over themselves.
Whose the bigger douche?
I'd say they're neck and neck..
