Yep, someone forgot. Looks like that lawsuit against Nintendo’s use of a Hans Zimmer composition in a Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door commercial was retracted as soon as someone from Nintendo’s advertising agency said, “Hey, we’re paying you! …and not to sue us!”
The lawsuit alleged copyright infringement by Nintendo for its use of the song ‘You’re So Cool’ in a Nintendo GameCube television commercial produced by advertising agency Leo Burnett USA, Inc. In response to the lawsuit, 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 dismissed by Morgan Creek Productions the following day.
We all make mistakes. At least now we know to check our facts before taking people to court!
