Deee-lite Singer Sues Sega Over Space Channel 5

According to this story at Rollingstone.com, the former singer of Deee-lite, Lady Miss Kier, is suing Sega for borrowing her image and style for the game Space Channel 5. She's seeking more than $750,000 for misuse of her likeness, and claims that Sega originally tried to negotiate a deal with her during 2000, but she declined. This calls to mind Nintendo's brush with Uri Geller.

I can get some money!!!

My friends have told me I look like a bunch of video game characters so instead of posting on /. the rest of the day, I am off to start filing some class-action law suits, mainly against Nintendo because I am a plumber and Luigi's moustache is the same type as mine. They didn't ask me before they designed him. What were they thinking? They should send out a mass email to the world before designing characters so that they might not look like anyone. Well, wish me luck. I'm off to get lots of money for free!!!
