Monday's LA Times has an interesting article about Spike Lee's New York lawsuit which attempts to prevent Viacom's TV station TNN from renaming itself as "Spike TV." So far, Spike has won a temporary injunction preventing TNN from using the name. But Monday, he'll have to cough up an additional $2 million bond to maintain the injunction. Many think Lee's suit lacks merit and reflects his outsized ego. One wag wrote a letter to the editor of Variety pointing out that Lee "didn't complain before, when they named a TV show after him: 'Jackass.'"
I blogged briefly about the case earlier here.
