PARTE 1:
| Citação: | Metallica Send Cease and Desist Letter to Canadian Tribute Band
As we’ve seen over the years, Metallica have been very vigilant when it comes to protecting their trademark. And apparently that has landed a Canadian tribute band called Sandman on the radar of the band’s legal team, who served them with “cease and desist” papers.
Warmachine’s Joe Di Tarantino, who also sings and plays guitar in Sandman, revealed the news to fans on his Facebook page with a photo of the letter. He wrote, “So as some of you may or may not know, in my spare time from Warmachine, I play in a couple tribute acts … One being a Metallica tribute called Sandman. Well last night when we arrived at the venue for our show in London, ON, we were served with ‘Cease & Desist’ papers courtesy of Metallica’s lawyers. Quite funny! LOL!”
In the document, Metallica’s legal team called out Sandman for using “official, stylized logos” and for promoting their live performances through Facebook and YouTube using the Metallica name.
After a number of comments on the Facebook post from followers, Di Taranto offered some clarification, stating, “Unfortunately I think many people here have either misread or not read the letter at all … They don’t want the band using the name ‘Metallica’ as in: ‘Canada’s Tribute to Metallica’ nor the logo…Which has never been used. The FONT used as the Sandman logo however is the same font from St. Anger…which I guess they also have a problem with. Easy fix.” Check out the post below.

TLDR: Uma banda cover foi impedida de se apresentar pela equipe legal do Metallica por usar o logo da banda.
PARTE 2:
| Citação: | Metallica, Canadian Cover Band Reconcile Over Cease and Desist Letter
Band apologizes after "overzealous attorney" sent cover band Sandman 41-page letter
Metallica cover band Sandman didn't expect to have a FedEx package waiting for them over the weekend when they arrived at FitzRay's, a London, Ontario club where the band was scheduled to play Saturday night. Inside, the Canadian group found an official, 41-page cease and desist letter from Metallica's lawyer for using "official, stylized logos … to identify or promote live musical performances through Facebook and YouTube." The cover band, formed in 1994, had been using their logo, an approximation of Metallica's redesigned logo introduced for 2003's St. Anger, for more than a decade. Yet this was the first time they had even heard from the band, much less received any sort of legal documents.
"The band have been using this logo for years with no problems at all," guitarist Joe Di Taranto tells Rolling Stone. "I only joined the band last summer and feel a little guilty that perhaps my (albeit humble) success with my main/original band WARMACHINE have brought a little extra attention to the band, leading to this little fiasco."
Now, Metallica has clarified the situation in a statement to Rolling Stone, denying any involvement in the letter and blaming an "overzealous attorney" for the misunderstanding.
"We hear that a Canadian Metallica tribute band is a little upset with us and with a little digging, figured out why," the band tells Rolling Stone. "It turns out that a certain letter was delivered to the band Sandman that neither we nor our management were aware of until it surfaced online. Lucky for us, the band was kind enough to post it for us to see, and it turns out that we have a very overzealous attorney who sent this letter without our knowledge."
The group pointed to Garage Inc., their 1998 covers album, as proof of their support of groups covering other artists' work. "We have a long history of not only enjoying tribute bands, but we started as one," the group says. "Heck, we even recorded a two-disc album of covers! We will always remember those days and continue to enjoy tribute bands, even inviting them to support us on various tours over the years."
Di Taranto says that Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich called him on Wednesday to apologize and quash the situation. "He gave me and the band his full blessing to continue on as we were," says the musician. "They want us to continue paying tribute to Metallica with their full blessing and approval. We will continue to fly the Metallica flag, loud and proud!!" The band says they will continue using their logo with impunity.
As for the original cease and desist order, Metallica has rescinded the letter. "Sandman should file the letter in the trash," the band says. "Keep doing what you’re doing ... we totally support you! And in the meantime, our attorney can be found at SFO catching a flight to go permanently ice fishing in Alaska."

TLDR: Metallica diz que mandou o advogado pra casa do caralho e que a banda deve continuar fazendo o que faz sem problema algum.
