PINK - PINK'S LABEL SUE AUSTRIAN PARTY

Bosses at PINK's record label are suing Austria's conservative party OVP for using the pop punk's name to boost support.

The political organisation infuriated BMG chiefs when they printed the JUST LIKE A PILL star's moniker on flyers promoting candidate BENITA FERRERO-WALDNER's election campaign, following her sell-out show in Vienna on 4 April (04).

According to her label the party broke "more than one right of the artist. It was a misuse of an artist's name for a political campaign without the written consent of the artist.

"It's not even clear if the artist approves or even shares the political view of that party."

BMG representatives also insist they don't want their protest to be regarded as an approval for rival party SPO and their candidate HEINZ FISCHER.
