According to TMZ reports : Joe Francis — the mastermind behind “Girls Gone Wild” — is sending Madonna a cease and desist letter, threatening that he’ll take legal action if she sings the song from her new album — titled “Girls Gone Wild” — at the Super Bowl. TMZ has obtained the letter that Francis has sent to Madonna and her “co-conspirators.” Francis’ lawyer threatens to sue all of them for attempting to get a “free ride on the valuable consumer goodwill and brand recognition” of Joe’s famous trademark. Francis’ lawyer makes it clear: “Your misappropriation of my clients’ trademark will not be tolerated.” 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 by 5 PM PT today … or else.
