Is it illegal to use an already famous name as my Dj/Producer name?
Posted on: 02.03.2013 by Zana Chevallier
I am not trying to get famous quick by using a famous name. I wanted to use "Spider Pig" as my name because my last name is Hamilton and I thought this would be an awesome/funny producer name. But I don't know if this causes any issues.

Oh! Oh! Why not, DJ Pigs in Blankets, and wrap yourself in a duvet when you perform? It's like DP's and Mau5's masks, only warmer.

EDIT: And cheaper.

You don't want it to be super cheesy, yet you chose a super cheesy name... ironic.

1. Why would you do it? Do you want to leech on someone who is already popular to gain attention for yourself?
2. Supershit name anyway

Unless the name itself is trademarked, go for it. Even the big boys don't do this often. If some big dudes in suits walk up your path weilding baseball bats, its on you.

Hamilton - "Spider Pig"... I don't see the connection? :-\

EDIT: I've also never heard of a DJ SpiderPig, so you're probably okay.
