Due to problems concerning to the unproperly use of "Kraftwerk" brand in the announcing of your shows, Karl Bartos had to cancel all your shows at USA. As you know, these shows were announced like Kraftwerk, or with the outstanding word Kraftwerk. Of course Bartos have all the rights to plays the Kraftwerk musics which he composed, but at his last concerts he (or the producers) was using the brand Kraftwerk unproperly.

Exactly. The promoter announced the Karl Bartos shows as Kraftwerk, and the legal consequences about this fact caused the cancellation of these concerts. Observe: if the next shows of Karl Bartos use unproperly the brand "Kraftwerk" again, similar problems with producers will occurs. Just a interesting question: Does Karl Bartos knows about this kind of umproperly use or he's a victim of these kind of producers? Marcelo Duarte Brasil
