I think there is more than one cheapshot also
This kiiiiinda made my life.
Oh god I really hope IAYD sees this thread. He is the current "dudes with the same exact acronym" world champion.
I was really resisting posting in this thread, but -- these are the only two ones as of late
I Am Young Driel
Some rapper kid from Detroit
(listen to 0:14 of the 2nd track)
I Am Young Detroit
Some artist collective/organization for young Detroit artists/musicians
what I don't understand is do people not do a little bit of research before they settle on an artist name? especially goes for that Young Driel kid, he only recently started posting his stuff in like late 2010. it's also funny because I have most urls to pretty much every social networking site (and I have my website [IAYD.org] redirect to iamyourdestruction.com) -- both Driel/Young Detroit were probably a little upset that I have the twitter URL too so they stick to just using #IAYD as a hashtag...hilarious.
Also, if I remember correctly there were also at least one or two midigrind kids who used the acronym but then they just stopped. Nobody has used "I Am Your Destruction" yet so I think I'm good, for now at least.
EDIT: broken links.

7 years or so ago friends of mine "were" a band called factor-8.
they released 3 records (indie) in the span on 5 years.
then some 16y/o kids who have a lawyer as a father attempted
to sue them. they had no legal recourse, since my friends never
copywrited their name, and the kids did that right away. so factor-8
is now some dumb kids. my friends band broke up over the incident.
a real shame since they were pretty good, and well know in steubenville/pittsburgh.
super paper mario stole pixls from me. that fuckin game.
but no one else has Chromacle. though there is the occasional google confusion with ChromaCL :\

Yeah, the money was great back then, but now I've turned to chiptune to pay the bills.

There are several people with the same name as me in the music business as a whole, to a point that I wanted a stage name throughout the 90's ("but your real name is so cool!") This also does interesting things to my credit report on a regular basis because the beaureaus can't be bothered to cross reference or double check anything but I digress.
I usually have one or two links on the first page when I google for "chunter," that's good enough for me.
i've never heard of anyone else using infradead for music. but some guys doing linux stuff bought up infradead.com and infradead.org about a month before i tried to. knew i should not have procrastinated so long
just figured out they have an IRC channel.. registered my nick with nick serv and am now idling in it..
