Demanda presentada por The Eagles

The Eagles, una banda de rock estadounidense reconocida por su legado histórico y éxitos musicales, han iniciado formalmente acciones contra el Hotel California ubicado en México. Esta demanda surge alegando que los propietarios del hotel están engañando deliberadamente al público fingiendo conexión directa con la famosa canción “Hotel California” de The Eagles.”

“Though it has been over two decries since the emergence of ‘Hotel California,’ where we depicted this hotel using unauthorized photo, our intent was not to create an association with your establishment,” clarifies Don Felder from The Eagles. “It is a common misunderstanding among people that there’s such connection.”

• “The issue of confusion has led us towards seeking justice and demanding the removal of misconception perpetuated by your establishment.”
