Lawsuit against Nintendo for use of the song "You're so Cool" in a three-year old commercial lasts less than a week before being voluntarily dropped. http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/newsArt.cfm?artid=16246 On June 12, 2008 Morgan Creek announced a lawsuit against Nintendo for using the song You're so Cool from their film True Romance in a GameCube game ad. The game was not mentioned by name in the lawsuit, but the only GameCube game ad to feature the song was used in a television commercial for Nintendo's Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door in 2004. The suit, filed by Morgan Creek Productions in U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, was voluntarily dismissed by the plaintiff six days later, on June 18, 2008.
Morgan Creek overlooked a legal detail Nintendo's ad agency, Leo Burnett, was happy to point out:
"Leo Burnett provided Morgan Creek Productions with a copy of a music license entered into between Leo Burnett USA, on behalf of Nintendo of America and Morgan Creek, for licensing of the song."
The lawsuit was dropped the following day. The cost of Morgan Creek's legal exertions was not disclosed.
