Joe Francis has scored a victory against Madonna without ever having to set foot in a courtroom because she has changed the title of her new song "Girls Gone Wild" as well as its lyrics.
Joe and his lawyer David Houston fired off a cease and desist letter threatening Madonna with legal action if she sang the song during her halftime performance, and also demanding that Madonna make things right on her new album.
Well, apparently Madonna and the record label, Interscope, have changed the song title to "Girl Gone Wild."
Joe is a douche bag.
Joe Francis the loser behind "Girls Gone Wild" sent Madonna a cease and desist letter, threatening that he'll take legal action if she sings the song from her new album called "Girls Gone Wild" at the Super Bowl.
TMZ obtained the letter that Francis has sent to Madonna. His lawyer threatens to sue for attempting to get a "free ride on the valuable consumer goodwill and brand recognition" of Joe's famous trademark. Get over yourself Joe, really. But Francis is willing to cut a deal with Madonna, provided she agrees to the following terms:
-- Negotiate an immediate licensing agreement for the use of Joe's trademark
-- Account for the number of times Madonna has already used the trademark
-- NOT PERFORM THE SONG AT THE SUPER BOWL
Joe thinks NBC and the NFL are conspiring with Madonna, so the letter went to them as well.
Joe's lawyer is demanding a response story is still developing
