British record producer Richard "Diddy" Dearlove is back in court with copyright issues over the use of his nickname by rap mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs.
Last year, both sides agreed to keep their name on their respective sides of the pond, but that was before Internet sites MySpace and YouTube came along with their inability to block out users from a particular country.
Dearlove's attorney, Ian Purvis said that in keeping with an earlier agreement, Combs ensured British visitors to his website www.diddy.com were diverted to a British site where the offending name was not used. However, he was powerless to do so in relation to pages on MySpace and YouTube.
