IPO decision on the Rivermaya name

Well, i guess i can't play their music from their new cd... i quote this from titikpilipino.com

"Ms. Nakpil’s lawyers say that pursuant to this legal decision, all Philippine and foreign concerts, album and song releases, contracts, or projects by any groups, producers, sponsors, and venues utilizing the name Rivermaya without the express authorization of Ms. Nakpil would constitute a violation of law and violators will be subject to legal action, both civil or criminal, aside from damages and other penalties which may be imposed by law.

The decision of the Intellectual Property Office of the Philippines is retroactive in effectivity to the date of original registration on July 7th, 2008. It likewise gives protection to Ms. Nakpil’s trademark right of ownership worldwide, as a result of the Philippines government’s participation in international intellectual property treaties and conventions."
