Copyright / Tradmark - one man electric blues band

OK,

I just did a google search of the term "One Man Electric Blues Band" and I found another dude is using the same name for his music act. I know this wouldn't bother most people but most people didn't put all the time and effort into the creation of the "one man electric blues band". Also, "other people" didn't work as the equipment manager for Marc Twyman's One Man Electric Blues Band.

It is actually something I copyrighted in 2005 and I have a digital time stamp showing that I used the term much earlier than that also. It is a trademark that I have established on the world wide web and is unique to me.

Used to be that if I googled "one man electric blues band", I was the only one who came up as an exact hit.

I am not as upset about it as the bass player (my left toe). It it was just up to me, I would let it go but I really don't think the rest of the band will feel the same way.
