Pink Floyd taking legal action to stop conterfeit merchandise sales

Veteran rockers Pink Floyd are pursuing legal action to halt sales of fake memorabilia online.
The musicians have filed court papers in the U.S., seeking to stop Chinese manufacturers from flogging their counterfeit wares on the Internet.
According to documents obtained by The Blast, they want a judge to order bosses at websites like Facebook, Google, and e-commerce giant Alibaba to help identify the people behind the companies using their platforms to sell the knock-offs.
They claim the manufacturers go “to great lengths to conceal both their identities and the full scope and interworking of their illegal counterfeiting operation,” creating their listings “so that they appear to unknowing consumers to be authorized online retailers, outlet stores, or wholesalers selling genuine PINK FLOYD products”.
Pink Floyd are seeking an injunction on the sale of the fake memorabilia, and a ban on all of the aforementioned sites, including YouTube, Twitter, Bing, and Yahoo, from providing any services to the illegal sellers.
They are also demanding all profits made from sales of the counterfeit items, or $2 million (£1.6 million) for each unofficial use of their trademark.
