Mirra and Acclaim Settle Lawsuit
« on: October 27, 2003, 07:54:58 AM »
The two sides have apparently kissed and made up over the huge BMX XXX debacle.

In February of this year, BMX superstar Dave Mirra sued Acclaim over using his likeness to promote BMX XXX.  It appears that the two sides have settled this "contract dispute," as you can see by reading this freshly released news flash from Acclaim.




ACCLAIM ENTERTAINMENT, INC. AND DAVE MIRRA RESOLVE CONTRACTUAL DISPUTE AND RESUME WORKING PARTNERSHIP


GLEN COVE, NY, October 27, 2003 - Acclaim Entertainment, Inc., a global video entertainment software developer and publisher, today announced that Dave Mirra, the world's premiere BMX athlete and the Company have amicably resolved their differences surrounding a contract dispute between the parties. Mr. Mirra's lawsuit against the Company was settled with no monetary or other damages being paid by either side, and Mr. Mirra will continue, uninterrupted, to be under contract with Acclaim until the year 2011. Additionally, the Company has begun working on the development of a new Dave Mirra BMX video game for the next-generation gaming systems, details of which will be announced shortly.


"We are pleased to have amicably resolved this matter with Dave and anxiously look forward to resuming our successful working partnership," said Rod Cousens, CEO for Acclaim Entertainment, Inc. "The Dave Mirra brand is the #1 BMX brand in the video game industry and we will continue to work with Dave to build upon our proven formula for success."
