Artist Name Dispute

Hi All,

Myspace users on the Sex-Tron 5000 contact list have recently received numerous messages from an artist listed as SX-01 (http://www.myspace.com/sx01). Most of these messages have been short spam-mail, but he has recently sent the following:

Hello,
I have been releasing music under the name Sextron-01 since 1999. I also play live under this name. I kindly explained this to the other person now using sextron-5000 but he said he would not change the name at this time. I explained we have copyright releases out since 99' and he does not care. Not sure why he would not want to come up with a unique name. I recommended he could make a simple adjustment to the name to make it sound more different by taking out the word "sex" or "tron", but again, the response was pretty much, not going to change it now. It seems like if they change the name now it would be easier since their music is not released yet.
Please look at the links below for actual releases by sextron-01:

The original meaning of sextron-01 is: "sex" which is a big part of human life "tron" for technology and the computer world we live in and "01" for computer language.

I do care. I have considered his request and recognize no artistic or legal reason to change my name. The name has sentimental value to me and I wish to keep it. I will continue to sample new names, but until I have found one I am confident with I will continue to work as Sex-Tron 5000.

I apologize for the harassing e-mails and I hope that my extended actions will help cease them.

Thank you,
Graham Bucci
