Borat legal dramas

First point - the current media about lawsuits resulting from the Borat film is (very) good publicity.

Second point - the people who thought it was ok to say and do racist / offensive / etc things as long as it was not shown in America are not overly sympathetic litigants.

Third point - see the release (posted at TMZ) - looks fine to me. Written in legalese but nothing worse than you'd expect. And the covering letter does refer to unrestricted rights to use image and voice .....

The only difficulty the producers may have is that a number of 'participants' allege they were told that the film would be shown only on Khazaki TV. Presumably they'll be settled at some point and the issue will recede into the distance.
