The company that hawks all things related to Michael Jackson, The Rolling Stones, The Doors, Guns N' Roses, Led Zeppelin and Red Hot Chili Peppers is demanding untold millions from the businesses that are illegally cashing in -- allegedly.
Bravado International Group claims it has the exclusive right to the merchandise of these huge musicians -- dead and alive. Bravado claims Dollar Days International, Alan Shrem and Kennedy-Shrem International are illegally using the names and likenesses of Michael Jackson, Jim Morrison and the other musical luminaries in the sale of shirts, watches, posters, play money and other stuff.
The suit -- filed in federal court in Los Angeles and obtained by TMZ -- makes specific mention of Jackson's most memorable works, including "Thriller" and "Bad."
And speaking of bad, Bravado wants $2 million for each violation.

Last Wednesday marked the 40th Anniversary of The Doors. The Sunset Strip was the setting for what was not only a remembrance of what was, but as the crowd swelled, it was like 1966 all over again.
Surviving members Ray Manzarek, Robby Krieger and John Densmore participated in the event, holding down the fort at three locations that were at the foundation of The Doors' influential career. (Jim Morrison died in a Paris bathtub in 1971.)
With commemorative events still in his smile and tone, Ray Manzarek sat down in The Doors' management office to reminisce. With the new book by Ben Fong-Torres at his side, Ray remembered his glory days, but as questions shifted, Ray had sage advice for today's youth: "Art is the saving grace of America. It is the saving grace of your generation, and when you guys all get together and really begin to appreciate art, and then from that you will say, 'Hey let's change the times.'"
Watch the video and then enter to win a copy of their new boxed set, to be released Tuesday, November 21.
