DEVO vs. New Wave Nigel

[Dave W]

I wasn't even aware of the controversy (since I've never watched American Idol and rarely eat at McDonald's) but it looks like the matter has been settled. It's about as obvious as a ripoff could be, you have to wonder how the lawyers missed this one. Oh well, hopefully Devo will get royalties under the "mutually agreeable terms", or mybe a chunk of cash.

Dave, you read the WSJ law blog? The breadth of your knowledge and interests is always impressive.

Here's a guy who IS suing.
