Thanks.  Looking a SAWDND, I'm not quite sure how the "interchangeable
manner" in "Bands going by different names at the same time, using the names
in an interchangeable manner to cover essentially the same stuff" is to be
interpreted.  Is that grouping intended for bands that use different names
in a seemingly random manner?  Would this type of case be included there:
the group using name X had a contract with label 1, and all releases by
label 1 used name X, while the group using name Y had a contract with label
2, and all releases with label 2 used name Y, (and so on), or would it be a
new set of artists, say "Bands going by different names at the same time,
using the names in an consistently defined manner to cover essentially the
same stuff"?
