Star Wars Kid using legal action

Andy Baio of Waxy.org reported on May 29 that “Ghyslain, aka the ‘Star Wars Kid,’ and his family may be pursuing legal action against the individual(s) who originally posted his video on the Internet. Andy started an iPod fundraiser for Ghyslain on his weblog, asking for donations to ease the embarassment. At the time of this post, Andy has raised $3,254.09 for Ghyslain. The money was given to his lawyer at the end of May.

There has been no news since the May 29 post about whether or not the lawsuit has stalled. I think three thousand dollars covers the embarassment without a doubt. Drop the suit and move on. Next time, watch where you leave tapes of yourself.
