But all is well, now she gets to live rent free for the rest of her life.

But $5 billion?! Jebus.

 

[goodcow]

... I had no idea she was even alive.

 

[Date of Lies]

5 billion? does outkast even have 1 billion?

 

[Willco]

I don't think they'll win that lawsuit anyway.

 

[3phemeral]

Me thinks it was a typo, there's no way they could every substantiate such claims, given the amount of money outkast makes, it doesn't correlate with whatever damages -- puntitive or otherwise -- could ever possibly amount to.

 

[Mason]

What does that bitch need with 5 billion anyway? She's holed up in an apartment she's not even paying for waiting to die.

 

[BobbyRobby]

If you want to be a historical celebrity, you should deal with people using your name as a song title, regardless of what connotation you think it might have.

I hope Outkast doesn't settle, and she doesn't get a dime.

 

[Willco]

It probably wasn't a typo. It sounds more like a big threat that lawyers representing her are using to get the label to settle out of court.

Her lawyers won't win any lawsuit anyway. If they settle, it's only because the record label wants to avoid bad press.

 

[Justin Bailey]

Well they're also suing BMG, but I still think that was a typo.

And in her defense it was probably all her greedy lawyer's idea. She might not even know what the hell is going on right now.

Lawyer 1: MS. PARKS, EVIL RAPPERS ARE USING YOUR NAME. WE MUST PROTECT YOUR HONOR, SHOULD WE SUE THEM?

Rosa Parks: BINGO CATNIP FART BALLS?

Lawyer 2: I THINK THAT IS A YES. JOHN, GET THE DOCUMENTS.

That's very true -- it's probably because of her lawyers and representatives utilizing her historical status as a way to garner more cash prizes

Guys, USE YOUR HEAD. It's NOT HER suing the label, it's her GREEDY LAWYERS. So please stop disrespecting the woman for having no control over what her lawyers do.

Lawyers take advantage of old senile person?? That's unpossible!

 

[Luscious LeftFoot]

Yeah, I doubt she's cognizant of what the hell's going on. The song's not offensive or inflammatory at all.

Just a really enjoyable footnote in the 6th Circuit opinion:

n5 According to the YZ's Unofficial Rap Dictionary, "MC" is "Master of Ceremonies, the mic checker. 'I'm the real emcee, mac daddy.'" J.A. at 493
