this morning, we reported on courtney love's tweeted allegations that the ghastly kurt cobain avatar was included in guitar hero 5 without her consent. though the company didn't mention whether or not the lawsuit has actually been filed against them, activision just sent us a statement refuting love's claims:

''''''guitar hero secured the necessary licensing rights from the cobain estate in a written agreement signed by courtney love to use kurt cobain's likeness as a fully playable character in guitar hero(r) 5.''''''

maybe love did sign off on it, but just doesn't remember. there, we said it. we were all thinking it anyway.activision: courtney love agreed to cobain avatar originally appeared on joystiq on thu, 10 sep 2009 15:30:00 est. please see our terms for use of feeds.
