Soulja Boy Does Death Note?
Okay, I’ll admit that maybe I’m just old and out of touch because I have no idea who Soulja Boy is or what his latest mixtape is, but from what I can gather, hit rap artist Soulja Boy has just released a new album titled Death Note. The album’s cover art, at least, clearly makes reference to Tsugumi Ohba & Takeshi Obata’s 2003 manga series of the same name. It’s not clear if this is, or will be, perceived as a case of homage or copyright infringement. The Death Note album is widely available now as a free download. The album hits commercial CD on July 28.

Given the imagery and arrangement of the letters, this looks like trademark infringement. Since the music itself is garbage and in no way homage or even parody of the manga/anime series franchise, Soulja Boy should be expecting a lawsuit.
