Rage Against The Machine Send Cease And Desist Letter To Nigel Farage Over His “Farage Against The Machine” Podcast

Rage Against The Machine had their attorney Howard King send a cease and desist letter to UK right wing politician Nigel Farage to get him to change the name of his podcast “Farage Against The Machine.” The Blast got ahold of the letter and it says the podcast “brazenly and unlawfully exploits our client’s name and logo” and that “implication of any endorsement by our client of you or your policies is particularly abhorrent.” It goes on to say “RATM has publicly denounced the type of right-wing ideology you espouse for decades; in fact, that has been an integral part of the band’s identity and purpose.” The following was also added: “Your anti-immigrant rhetoric, lack of social compassion and barely disguised racism and xenophobia are the antithesis of what RATM stands for. Stop using RATM’s name and logo, change the name of your podcast and find some other target to troll. We suggest President Trump.”
