Well unless there is a world wide trademark on the name, you can use it in Brazil - check first.
Honestly as far as using it, it's up to you. I'm guessing people in Brazil won't know the association with it, but you will. So it's your choice.
Correct. When i chose my business name, i just had to make sure it wasn't nationally trademarked or trademarked in my state.
i wouldn't do it, what if they google it, come here and think thats your work little misrepresenting
That's not the OPs fault, and is in no way illegally representing himself or affiliating himself with Mike or PBMG. Theres several other Photography companies that use the same name I do, doesn't mean any of them are trying to misrepresent themselves. That's what business cards and unique web addresses are for.
OP, if you like the name and its legally available where you plan to operate, go for it! Good luck!
