Star Wars Kid Cuts a Deal With His Tormentors

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the suck-it-up-kid dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Ghyslain Raza, who gained instant online fame as the 'Star Wars Kid' settled this week with the families of the three classmates who posted his two minute Lucasfilm screen test on the Internet. No details were released but the suit sought damages of $351,000. A victory for the victims of cyber-bullying, or missed chance by thin-skinned Ghyslain to cash-in as the next William 'She Bangs' Hung?"

    There wasn't a single thing in that post that was a troll, you just disagree. Stop abusing your mod points, you're disgusting.

    He DID waste the court's time, this lawsuit WAS frivolous, and he engaged in EXACTLY the same behavior that the RIAA does, file suit, wait it out, when the other guy runs out of money or gets tired, propose a settlement because you know your case has no merit.
