VIDEO: Burnley Meat Loaf act must pay £18,000 to American rock legend (From Lancashire Telegraph)

Cant believe he treated you like that, when you clearly was squatting on a trademark of his and making money from it???!

Cannot stand domain squatters like you, if you had the domain "meatloaf-tribute" it would've been fine but you were playing with fire.

Only wish more people like you were sued for everything then the internet might end more better regulated.

Agreed.

You can't really complain if you're blatently ripping off another act.

Since when can US judges issue verdicts over UK citizens?

Since when can US judges issue verdicts over UK citizens?

Since the crime has been committed against a US citizen...numpty!

the domain name was the clincher...should have called it Meet Loaf and avoided the grief!

But not in the US... nobber!

makes no difference wassock!...google at your unintelligent fingertips. Use it!
What you're saying is Meatloaf could've come to the UK, nipped over to see Dean, asked him to stop using his name, got a good head kicking off the imposter and his cronies, flew home to US, suffered brain damage because of the kicking and the US courts can't do anything cos it was committed in the UK?

His website did state 'Tribute to Meat Loaf'. No one was mislead...He's a great vocalist in his own right. There are indeed a lot of malicious folk out there, and use these articles to bear animosity towards others.

From my account of this guy..he's an honest and likeable individual who will give you his last quid...

It's a shame ML felt the need to bash a UK guy only trying to entertain the public...

Guess where I'm getting a beer and value for money...you got it
'The Empire Theatre, Blackburn' on the 14th February.

Cheers!

I'm the nit-wit for reading the domaine law-suite..

I simply loath injustice...

What a bloody good video I just viewed...he can belt it out! Why hasn't anyone taken notice of him before now...scrub X-Factor!

Most Lancastrians support their own...if he was a Yorkshireman he'd have his county behind him...It makes me ashamed to be a Lancastrian the way SOME behave and throw insults...(and at the wrong people at that!!) The minority spoil it for the majority. By all means have an opinion, but please support your own.

This chap...gets my vote anytime!!!

Dear Mr Sparhawke,you yourself are cyber squatting i came on here looking for my local Spar Shop and got you.Lets get one thing straight Dean has had the website 12yrs if Meatloaf wanted that site why wait until now to get it.I will tell you why,its because Dean came out with a cd The Bat Strikes Back which is fantastic and much better than anything Meatloaf has done recently,go to Youtube and see.Think why hasnt he sued the other Meatloaf tribute acts,i will tell you why because Dean is the best,If it helps to stop you cybersquatting may i suggest SPAREHAWKEWOODBUGGER
.

Fancy being grilled by a Meatloaf, when usually its the other way round! Cheap taste that never loses its popularity!

'are somebody' ??? sorry don't understand your witterings!

As it happens I think Dean is absolutely fabulous, brilliant, fantastic, i've spent a couple of hours browsing YouTube for his 'tributes', joined his group and i'm even contemplating booking for 14th Feb. It's got sod all to do with my user name, my ancestry, my likes or dislikes, my location in the UK, or anything else you seem to be throwing at folk, wily nilly, without thinking before you (and may I quote you' SPOUT!. I stated a legal fact. You have your opinion and everyone else is entitled to theirs...END OF!

Since when can US judges issue verdicts over UK citizens?ever since this government decided we are a state in the US and we will do anything they say no matter what.

Dean is an amazing performer, I have been to many of his gigs in Lancashire. I have always been a Meatloaf fan but I now despise him for what he's done to such a talented person. Dean is making a living through being a tribute act and an amazing one, the best meatloaf tribute I've seen & now Meatloaf has shattered this. I'm so happy dean is carrying on his career with the rock legends & elton John tribute, Everyone get to the gig in Darwen on feb 14th & see for yourself how good this guy is!!

Where's all his brass hidden then?...if he's so fabulous and packing out theatres, like the Empire, Longshaw club, to name just a couple...oh and Russian dates, all the fancy customisation of his van, all that money saved on food etc...who mentioned 'porkies'....?

'Thoroughbred' -

I suggest Dean consults his litigation team about cyber-bullying and unfounded malicious allegations: (quote) ‘Meat loaf would get a good head kicking off the imposter and his cronies’ (unquote) comments of which are defamation of character and NOT legal fact . Comment has appeared in the public domain so therefore possibly injurious to reputation and further ability to earn income. There is enough evidence in print to bring a claim against this accusation.

An Internet Protocol address will trace name and address where computer is register so one should think carefully before leaving personal scurrilous attack or it may not only be the names Dean Torkington and Michael Lee Aday in the case relating to this story.

bankrupt my arssse! You seen how much tickets are to see these 'cover' bands! go & watch some talented original artist for free at a pub or local live venue, before it closes... due to proper bankruptcy

Don't you ever read the news?

The U.K has many multi-national companies and private individuals going bankrupt annually and unless you are in a key position to examine someone's private financial affairs and understand their personal circumstances, I think your ignorant and rather provincial comments are far better off restricted to the bar at your local pub where they belong!

Do you understand the meaning of illiteracy or have any clear understanding of intelligence. Your crass comments aimed as personal insults to people whom you do not know nor have any contact with other than on internet forums belie your own lack of intellect and begin to make you look silly, if not plain stupid!

I suggest you keep reading it until you understand it. You're making a proper fool of yourself now 'Spanner'

I'd love to continue playing your little word games, thoroughbred - could all be fun but it's getting rather boring, since judging by your apparent bitterness and you lack any kind of intellect and clearly have deeper issues only a mental health professional can identify. Although I do suggest you try and feed your mind with better fodder than merely making juvenile comments more suited to a ten year old than an adult who is allowed to stay up past bedtime. Try to do something useful with your life instead of bringing down better people than yourself who have accomplished something through hard work and dedication in their lives...that is if you understand what I am saying, which clearly you do not seem to do? Now you must excuse me - so toddle-pip old chap, I DO have better things to do!!!

So I shall leave it at this last post . Although I DO suggest you try and find the root cause of your bitterness and emotional inferiority; perhaps start by feeding your mind with better fodder than making juvenile comments more suited to a ten year old with learning difficulties than supposedly an adult who is allowed to stay up past bedtime? Try to do something useful with your life instead of bringing down better people than yourself who have accomplished something through hard work and dedication in their lives...that is if you understand what I am saying, which clearly you do not seem to do? Perhaps things will get better for you in the future if you try harder.

The Lawsuit was over the Meat Loaf Registered trademark , Which Meat loaf spends Thousands of Dollars a years to keep that Registered trademark world wide ,which Dean used illegally , was using for Commercial purposes. Now Dean say's " After the show he claims he was confronted by the multi-millionaire star. “When I got backstage I couldn’t believe it,” he said.“He went crazy. He said he’d seen my van and wanted it sprayed. He told me I couldn’t do my act anymore and that he wanted the website.” If that would have really happened it would have been in every newspaper in the world . So, That my Friend's never happened He saw 2 people after the show myself and the Road Manager named Bill Barkley. After the show never saw Meat.. Sorry he is lying. There was no screaming . He had seen Meat before the show with a fence between them and again no screaming I was there along with our Monitor mixer TC. where Dean was warned the Record company could come after him. The only other time Meat met Dean was at a show where after they had a nice chat and both wife's where there and Dean gave Meat a big white Bear which Meat still has in his office.
Now what you all do is sart a soft drink Co. ,call it CoCa Cola and sell it at the store . See if Coke file's a lawsuit against you . They won't even give you a warning . Just Like the Rolling Stones.
" Mr Torkington said he had not received a reply after making a personal appeal to Meat Loaf about the case." Here are Mr Torkingtons personal appeals:
Dean Torkington
"shove your lawsuit up your **** arse! retire! your past it!!!"

"see you backstage at on of your uk shows! its showdown time!"

" they have a word for people like you here in the uk! ****!!! This is going in all the papers your a disgrace!"

CARRY ON WITH THIS CASE AND ILL MAKE YOUR LIFE HELL ON THE INTERNET!!

Mr Torkington ego is so big he really thinks all Meat Loaf does is to follow his career and is Jealous. Meat good give a big wang dang what he does as long as he didn't steal from him. . Meat has done 4 films and 4 tours since 2009. Torkington's ego is the size of a small planet.

Dean is going Bankrupt from what happen between him and his wife not Meat Loaf. here is a story

The story talks about a 1,000 pounds he had to spend to repaint his truck that had nothing to do with Meat Loaf . He violated a Virgin Records Trademark. Again Dean thinks he is bigger than the law and can do what ever he wants when he wants . When someone calls him on it it is never his fault , he did nothing wrong. everyone else is to blame. He list on his face page he is a pro. Sorry but Professionals know what is right and wrong in this business.
Now if it were a real law suite among professional entertainers it would have been for millions . What the Judge ordered was court cost not money to Meat Loaf. Just for fun lets get one more Dean Article

Oh my! Oh my! that's shocking...Meat will roll over laughing and Spannerhead and the ID thief's following, will have your guts for garters after posting that. Fighting over pennies, when he's such a big shot tribute entertainer.
