Please enjoy this trailer of the upcoming expose' documentary about the Hollywood Trade Publication "The Daily Variety" and their parent company "Reed Elsevier, Inc.
Why have they spent so many resources suing an obscure American punk band over a font? Why did they lock the Vandals bassist in a room in France? Why do they set up arms conferences in the Mideast where as many as 15 manufacturers of cluster bombs congregate to do business?
How did Variety sweep their recent payola scandal under the rug so quickly?
What about the fake medical journals created by Reed Elsevier? How about the fraudulent uses of their business software Lexis-Nexis to steal identities of their customers?
This and more will all be exposed soon in a full length feature documentary. Look for it at a film festival near you. We are tired of these people.

Tim Gray (editor) tim.gray@variety.com, Neil Stiles (president) neil.stiles@variety.com, and Leo Wolinsky (editor) leo.wolinsky@variety.com

  • One good thing to come out of this, I now know more about you and your music, and I like it. Curious though, and I know this question should be directed at your label, butt If I used A Vandals song in a video, how long until the copyright police removed it?

  • Thanks !@weneedhelp We never have them taken down unless we don't like the comments. Either monitor them so they're all super flattering toward us, or disable them. :)

  • Thanks to everyone for your support. It's been amazing! Our twitter account is going crazy. We should have been sued long ago! feel free to join in: @TheVandals.

  • @rbtitco oh wait isn't there already a shitty band called xvandals or something?

  • Why don't you just break up and reform with a new name?

  • Having said that, I support your cause on this but I think it's incredibly fucking lame that you grabbed the name in such a sheister way.

  • @OffTheWallGaming We are writing new material, and we can release it, but this lawsuit is dragging our progress in many ways.

  • @joeescalante Joe! Are you guys writing material for new stuff even though it can't be recorded right now?!!!

  • Wow. The youtube propagandists are busy:
