Courtney Love has released a non-Twitter response to the ongoing squabble over Guitar Hero's Kurt Cobain avatar. Former Nirvana bandmates Dave Grohl and Krist Novoselic already expressed their disappointment that the singer's image could be found singing Bon Jovi's "You Give Love a Bad Name" on the video game. Love's lawyer, Keith A. Fink, subsequently issued the following statement on the debate (warning, it is in full sentences and over 140 characters):

"Ms. Cobain is extremely upset about Activision's use of Mr. Cobain's likeness to sing the songs of others in its Guitar Hero game. Activision was granted permission by Kurt's trust solely to use his name and likeness. Activision was not given an unbridled right to use Mr. Cobain's name and likeness. Kurt's songs have a special and unique meaning to his fans and his image and legacy are very important to Ms. Cobain."

Furthermore, the statement demands action from the video game company. "The agreement Activision has with the trust doesn't allow them to use his likeness in ways that denigrate his image," it reads. "We would hope Activision would do the right thing on its own and prohibit game users from using Kurt's image to sing others songs and if they don't we expect the trust to take appropriate action to protect Mr. Cobain's image."
