I was asked early in this post why I didn't like Spike Lee.
His views towards Django were one reason, this is another http://www.celebritynetworth.com… and the Spike TV thing that was mentioned was new to me but just another reason that he's a bit of a knob.

i see fadein's point. Spike is removed from the process. And it's not like it was a private email (which would have been ignored). He was sort of ambushed by this, with people blaming Lee himself for something he was probably only slightly connected with directly (saying "Yeah that poster looks good" doesn't take much of a connection).
But Lee screwed up with his replies. He should have just said "Chill out, i hadn't heard about this until now. i'll check into it". But for whatever reason, he decided to be a dick about it. And now it really IS his problem- I say we fuck his ass. Each and every one of us.iCanHazQBN

I hope this works out in your favor JG. These rich bastards really do think they can get away with murder.

My guess: Perhaps gotta cease and desist for "possibly" publicly hurting both companies reputations (libel / defamation), which might turn out to be more of a case, monetarily, than getting what he could have gotten for the poster infringement (probably not a ton, we're just talking posters, not the movie profit).
- but again, just a guess. Don't know if he actually did that or not. Haven't read everything...fyoucher1

from the buzzfeed article's comments second comment is so true:

Among the worst people are the ones who make it to the top of a ladder then pull it up so others have a harder time following in their footsteps. Spike Lee can still make this right and I hope he does.

But Spike Lee doesn't believe he's at the top of the ladder. He still thinks he's being disenfranchised by the white system. He's made a career out of it.- well let's hope JG doesn't look too white.pango
- but in all fairness he still is...necromation
- < um, how? He is a multi-millionaire. I wonder what percentage of sales were to white people?set
- It's the 'white system' that has allowed him to become a multi-millionaire.set
- 'allowed' as in he can make his money through american film, not 'allowed' as in... 'you may'. (disclaimer)set
- JG isn't "white"monospaced
- "look"pango
