This is for those of you who have seen David Cross's DVD "Let America Laugh"
In October of 2005, Cross was sued by Nashville club owner Thomas Weber, accusing Cross of taping him without permission for Let America Laugh in violation of Weber's privacy rights. Weber put up a website called werenotlaughing.com, a play on the title of David's second label released album "It's Not Funny". In April 2006 the case against David Cross himself was dismissed, leaving Thomas Weber to face Warner Music, Subpop Records, WEA Corporation, and the Alternative Distribution Alliance. In June, the four companies together offered Weber an 'offer of judgement' of $30,000. Weber then tried to make it so each of the four companies paid $30,000 and ultimately got nothing. The case was dismissed on July 25th, 2006.
