Go get 'em

Actually, it constiututes theft of our intellectual property. The Coat of Arms is considered to be intellectual property and the use by unathorized individuals constitutes theft.

One possible fix is for the authorized individual, perhaps the Grand High Pi to contact Myspace and explain the circumstances of the theft and ask that Myspace take the site down. That hits the band in the wallet and it will get their attention. Then smack them with a suit alleging theft and infringement and ask for disgorgement of profits. This outfit is undoubtedly uninsured. Do some research - if there are minors in the group name their parents in the suit because mom and dad have insurance.

They will whine and complain and attempt to trash us but so what? We survived the sixties!
