Keith Urban sues Keith Urban over site
Australian country singer Keith Urban has filed a lawsuit against a US painter of the same name, claiming that the lesser known Keith Urban's website infringes trademark and cyber-squatting laws.
Singer Urban filed the suit in US District Court in Nashville, Tennessee, on Friday against the New Jersey painter who uses the website address www.keithurban.com to advertise oil paintings for sale.
The entertainer, who married Australian actor Nicole Kidman last year and who recently ended a stint in rehab for alcohol abuse, says in the lawsuit that the website is being used "in a manner likely to deceive the public into believing that the website has a connection to plaintiff that does not exist".
Urban's own website address is www.keithurban.net.
The singer, 39, wants the other website to be shut down and its domain name transferred to his ownership. He also seeks unspecified monetary damages.
The New Jersey painter could not be reached for comment.
