AOL and Kanye West Sued By Evil Knievel

Evil Knievel is no fan of Kanye West or AOL, or the work they did in videos. He feels they've managed to besmirch his reputation and he's going after them in a lawsuit. He even managed to drag AOL into the suit, in an uncoventional manner.

Strange, yes, but it gets weirder. In a copy of the suit seen by Ars Technica, Knievel also names AOL as a defendant because the "use of AOL's own search engine for a video of 'Evel Knievel' returned the infringing music video as the second 'hit' generated by the search." This certainly sounds like one of those cases where a more complete understanding of how the Internet works would help everyone involved. We can only hope this claim, at least, gets tossed from the suit as quickly as possible.

It seems Evil and his lawyer aren't too technically savvy. No response yet from West or AOL.
