The L.A.-based nonprofit AIDS Healthcare Foundation says the billboard will remain up despite objections from a lawyer for Coachella's organizers.

Coachella organizers have called for the removal of a billboard near the music festival site advertising free sexually transmitted disease testing services, the organization that paid for the billboard said. The Los Angeles-based nonprofit AIDS Healthcare Foundation put the billboard up on the westbound 10 Freeway on March 26 and received a request to remove it by March 28.

” Goldenvoice, the company that organizes and promotes Coachella, did not respond to a request for comment. Jason Farmer, vice president of marketing for the foundation, said an attorney for Goldenvoice’s parent company requested the billboard’s removal. The attorney claimed the billboard represented a copyright infringement and asked for the billboard to be taken down within 48 hours, Farmer said, or threatened to take legal action.
