Travis Barker has placed a lawsuit against Rockstar energy drink company on Wednesday, January 16, 2008, accusing it of wrongfully using his picture.
According to legal papers filed to Los Angeles Superior Court, Rockstar Beverage Corp., without Barker's consent, submitted on its website a photo of the former Blink-182 drummer "holding a can of one of Rockstar's beverages" while "identifying him and his endorsement by name."
Not only claims invasion of privacy, Barker also alleges the company for unfair competition and misappropriating his likeness to promote its product. As "a prominent figure in the rock music world", the musician further seeks unspecified punitive and statutory damages from the publication of his picture.
