Would appreciate comments on lawsuits against M. Moore

[Ilsa]

for using footage in F-911. Heard some junk recently, and I'd like to refute it, but I can't find it here or on snopes or by googling. Does anyone have a link?

My immediate thoughts are that they are junk suits, because MM wouldn't keep it in unless he had their weritten permission, but what do I know?

1. I'd really appreciate some help with this.

I don't know enough about it, and I can't find the materials to read except what is on RW sites.

3. Not too many lawsuits

But lots of people upset about their appearance in the film.

The widow of a soldier whose private funeral was shown without concent. http://www.arlingtoncemetery.net/gregory-stone.htm

The amputee soldier who was shown without consent (google Peter Damon).

The parachute businessman (John Rivers) who was shown without consent.

Of course, none of them have much of a legal standing to bring forth lawsuits since much of the footage was public domain, but I'm not sure since I'm not a lawyer.
