| I like Ulala, but this other girl still seems freaky was she in the US? I've never heard of them. | |||

| Yeah, she's American. She's probably most famous for being a member of Deee-Lite.... | |||

| They were in the 80's? I don't remember them at all. | |||

If she ran out of money, suing a large company isn't exactly the best way to make money. Lawyer's fees are pretty expensive, especially against large corporations. [/b][/quote] Or media attention... she hasn't been popular for a LONG time. Maybe she is trying to jump start her career. Whether she wins or loses, she still gets press. Also, her image belongs to the pop culture. Nothing she did/wore was unavailble to the general public. Her image was just the trend of the moment. | ||||

I'm beginning to wonder why we didn't hear (or see) Deee-Lite in one of the Austin Powers movies.  Yeah. She shoulda sued Mike Myers for making whole movies so obviously influenced by her and not giving her credit.  | |||

| Hah, your so correct Taelon... I never though of that... If anything she should be suing Austin Powers films before SEGA... Way more resemblance there. | |||

I'm sure the producers of Austin Powers didn't come to this person, then proceed to rip off their look with only slight modifications after not receiving this person's permission. I think the lawsuit is frivolous, don't get my wrong. But, Sega committed a grevious mistake by approaching her first. | ||||

| I agree, I mean they got away with it any way, but it would have gone off smoother if they hadn't come to her in the first place. | |||

Do we know this for a fact? I may have missed it. | ||||

Taelon | May 2, 2003 | |
| I was going to say the same thing. All the article said was that she said (or her lawyer(s) said) Sega had approached her first... | |||

| Simply put, the prosecution simply has to bring up that this isn't an isolated incident, and refer to Sega v. Nike (or whatever the offiical court case was, I don't have access to WestLaw). It is completely plausible that they did ask her and then decided to go ahead and do it anyway, seeing as how the NBA 2K commercial was a mirror image of the Nike commercial. | |||
