Deee-lite Singer Sues Sega Over Space Channel 5

Posted by simoniker on from the groove-in-is-the-wallet dept.

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.

    Ok, I read the article but I still don't understand what Space Channel 5 is, or Chu Chu Rocket, or any of these games or what they have to do with each other. WTF is the "rhythm music" genre, or "rhythm action title"? Is this a GAME genre or what?
