Page "DFA Records" Paragraph 8

We knew about them for a long time, the name thing wasn't a big deal.

It wasn't until they signed to a major label, which wouldn't release the record until we signed off on the name.

That's how this all came about .... company of Death From Above 1979's label, Vice Atlantic's not gonna release a record by a band with the same name as another entity in music .... We spent a lot of money because we didn't just wanna be total fucking assholes and just say no.

We were trying to find a way for it to actually work ....

I was like, " What the hell's wrong with Death From Above 1979?

" But the copyright attorney was like, " No, that's not fine.

" And I said, " If they become a totally different name, and it delays their record, that's something I'm not comfortable with.

" So we just tried to make it work as well as possible.
