On April 10, Ghyslain Raza's $160,000 lawsuit against three ex-classmates is to be heard by a Quebec Court judge in Trois Rivieres. Raza - who gained notoriety in 2003 as the "Star Wars Kid" - is suing his former classmates for posting a private video of him wielding a mock "light sabre" on the Internet.

So let me get this straight...if your fucking dumb enough to film yourself acting like a retard you are dumb enough to have it posted on the web as a gag. Thats like guys talking thier girls into filming thier sex so if and when they break up the guy has a revege chip he can play.

suing his former classmates for posting a private video of him wielding a mock "light sabre" on the Internet.

Doesn't sound like he posted the video. That will probably be the deciding factor.

If that was me I wouldn't cry about it, I'd actually be kind of proud.

[kaharthemad]

if he was stupid enough to video tape himself being an asshole then hey he is a moron. Dont video tape anything that you dont want out on the webz later.

[Ginzburgh]

Imagine you made a porno with your wife and your babysitter stole the tape and put it on the internet. I'm pretty sure that's illegal and I bet the same law applies.

[kaharthemad]

yeah and Im not stupid enough to make a porno. Frankl7y like I said to make a movie is just begging for the movie to be released.

[Ginzburgh]

I'm not arguing that it's stupid. If you make a movie and it ends up on the internet don't cry about it.

I'm just saying that legally he probably has a case.

But, looking at that jackass, do you think 3 friends of his have $160,000 between the three of them combined?

Point taken. I think ginz and my debate is pointless.

[Ginzburgh]

This is true.

/sigh Canadians.

[Tacks]

Is he able to sue them if he can't prove it was a "private" video? Isn't that why Pam Anderson couldn't sue or is she just too stupid?

[Ginzburgh]

No clue, my knowlege of the law is limited to car searching.

[Griever]

Didn't he video tape himself at school using the school video camera? I don't know how that could be considered private.

and here I thought only Americans sued for bullshit reasons.
