Exclusive: Courtney Love's attorney responds to use of Cobain in Guitar Hero 5

VG247 has received an official statement from Courtney Love's attorney, Keith Fink, Esquire, regarding Activision's use of Kurt Cobain's likeness in Guitar Hero 5.

Apparently, like we assumed, she is upset over Cobain being used to play other artists' songs, which she finds detrimental to his image and legacy.

"You are correct in stating that Ms. Cobain is extremely upset at Activision's use of Mr. Cobain's image in a video game allowing him to sing songs of others," Mr. Fink told VG247. "Kurt's songs have a unique and special meaning to his fans and his image and legacy is extremely important to Ms. Cobain.

"Activision's statement is not accurate in suggesting that they were given an unfettered use of Kurt's name and likeness. The agreement Activision has with the trust doesn't grant them the right to use his name and likeness in ways that denigrate his image.

"We are demanding the trust take appropriate action to protect Mr. Cobain's image and would hope Activision would do so on its own accord and prohibit users of the game from singing songs of others."

We have a feeling this is far from over, and you can catch up on all that happened yesterday through here, and here.
