Autopilot Off was a punk rock band from Orange County, New York from 1996 to 2005. The band originally formed under the name
Cooter. In 2000 the band was involved in a bitter lawsuit with the Mississippi punk rock band
The Cooters, who own the trademark to the name Cooter. The New York band settled out of court in 2002, and changed their name to Autopilot Off. However, Autopilot Off's record label [l436343], took the lawsuit all the way to Federal Court and lost to the Mississippi band. Autopilot Off then signed with their major label, [l8377] shortly afterwards. After this they released their eponymous debut EP in the spring of 2002.
