Activision: Courtney signed a contract

Courtney Love may hate Activision and threaten with legal action against them for using Kurt Cobain's likeness in Guitar Hero 5, but according to the publisher she did sign an agreement.
"Guitar Hero secured the necessary licensing rights from the Cobain estate in a written agreement signed by Courtney Love to use Kurt Cobain's likeness as a fully playable character in Guitar Hero 5,"
Meanwhile, former Nirvana members Krist Novoselic and Dave Grohl issued a statement claiming that they had nothing to say about Cobain being used in the game and regret that Activision made his character able to sing other songs:
While we were aware of Kurt's image being used with two Nirvana songs, we didn't know players have the ability to unlock the character. This feature allows the character to be used with any kind of song the player wants. We urge Activision to do the right thing in "re-locking" Kurt's character so that this won't continue in the future.

It's hard to watch an image of Kurt pantomiming other artists' music alongside cartoon characters. Kurt Cobain wrote songs that hold a lot of meaning to people all over the world. We feel he deserves better.
I guess Courtney Love should start reading the fine print before signing a contract...
