Music Suit Against Nintendo Suddenly Dropped

GameSpot is reporting that a suit against Nintendo for using unauthorized music in its 2004 commercial for “Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door” has been dropped. Morgan Creek Productions filed the suit on June 12, 2008 alleging that Nintendo had used the song “You’re So Cool” without permission. The song is better known as the theme to the ultra-violent, Tarantino-penned cult classic “True Romance”.

According to GameSpot, Morgan Creek voluntarily dismissed the case on June 18. No reasons were given.
