About this Song
Demon Hunter, the real metal band, is suing Netflix over "KPop Demon Hunters" and fans are already paying the price. Christian metal band Demon Hunter has filed a lawsuit against Netflix and concert promoter AEG Presents, alleging trademark infringement tied to the smash-hit animated film KPop Demon Hunters. The band's company, Hyde Lane, claims the movie's name has caused "substantial confusion" among consumers and the lawsuit lays out real examples. One person says they spent $500 on premium tickets to a Demon Hunter concert in Albany, New York, believing they were buying tickets to a KPop Demon Hunters show for their young daughters. A television producer reportedly approached the band's management thinking they were connected to the film, and fans have mistakenly tagged the band on social media. Demon Hunter has toured and released music for 25 years and registered its trademark in 2022, while Netflix has since filed its own trademarks tied to the film's merchandise. The band is now asking a court to block Netflix from using the name in connection with music, live performances, and merchandise, and is seeking damages. The case lands just as KPop Demon Hunters — Netflix's most-watched original film ever gears up for a confirmed sequel.
