The Ghost Ride video by rapper Mistah-Fab has come under scrutiny from Ghostbusters copyright holder Columbia Pictures. Apparently they are not happy with the use of a car and logo that looks similar to their Ghostbusters trademarks. Along with the negative hype, the fad has been the cause of two deaths from fans trying to "Ghost Ride".
The
Columbia Pictures Press Release states:
"Columbia Pictures, the studio who owns the rights to the Ghostbusters movie franchise, threatened legal action because the video showcases the "Ghostbuster's" car and logo, among other similarities. Columbia has demanded the video be pulled from all media outlets including television and the Internet."
