Jim Brown Receives $600K Settlement Against EA

[YITF]

I love how people are posting that they feel bad for EA. EA bought out their competition so they could monopolize football video gaming. They should have to pay all of the people that they illegally used and pay us, for the 11 years of no competition.

This was back in the ps2 era where you could fully edit players so that's not valid.

I'm good with him winning but let's not make a hero out of him ..

Ed O'Bannon was actually a pretty good college basketball player that helped UCLA win a national championship in 1995. So I'm sure more people have heard of him than you think. Continuing with the topic at hand, I don't care if I was a trillionaire, use my likeness without permission, especially after I said no, I'm suing too.

A few have already said it but man some of these comments guys wow......EA used Brown's likeness without his permission! That's the issue here and he was in the right to do what he did. It's quite simple really. EA was in the wrong for doing what they did too but the venom for them from some people is crazy too. C'mon people....
