This from CMU:
Sum 41 are facing a lawsuit from a New Yorker because they threw a hot dog at him! Apparently the band made a film of themselves fooling around for inclusion on the DVD that accompanied their 2002 Does This Look Infected? album.
That film included footage of the band heckling one Michael Sudore at a minor league baseball game - during the heckling they threw the aforementioned hotdog. The footage was included on the DVD without Sudore's permission and, since discovering its inclusion, he has apparently been experiencing "psychological trauma". In a somewhat ambitious lawsuit he is hoping to secure $6million in damages.
Sudore's lawyer H. Todd Bullard told reporters: "He believes his reputation has been tarnished, obviously and in addition it's continued damage each time they sell one of these DVDs. Not to mention the humiliation. They picked him out because of his distinct look and pelted him with a hot dog, then surreptitiously taped him and his reaction, and not in the most flattering way."
The lawsuit is based around a New York law which recognizes the unauthorized use of any person's image as a violation of civil rights law. The band and their label are yet to comment.

The Case Is Still Going I Haven't Received A Dime If Anyone Says Different Tell Them Their Full Of Shit. Attorney Todd Bullard Is Telling Lies About Myself Because He's Trying To Get More Money He Says I'm Going Through Psychological Trauma And Reverse Effects! He's The One Who's Having a Mental BreakDown, I don't Think Todd Could Handle The Sum41 Boys And Their Record Companies. I'm Telling Sum 41 And Universal Records "That They Could Take That Thought And Stick It Up Their Ass. Sum41 And Universal Record's Told Me To Stick Up My Ass. So I Told Them That They Could All Go To Hell For All I Care. And Laughed.

Attorney, H. Todd Bullard embaressed Mr. Michael Sudore U.S. Army Professional Veteran from 1979 till this day, When Todd told Judge Payson that Mr. Sudore was going through emotional distress, and Todd wanted to a file a claim. I mean how stupid is that! The Judge denied the claim, She knew H.Todd Bullard was telling a lie. H. Todd Bullard makes "The Devil" Look Like a Angel. He isn't anything but bad news all the way around. He didn't even tell Mr. Sudore about the ill minded, stupid idea. H. Todd Bullard Attorney earned his Attorney License out of a Cracker Jack Box. Todd is really trying hard to make Mr. Sudore look really bad infront of the entire world. It isn't working. Todd has the mind of a 14 year old, its obivious. This is freedom of speech and the story is true this comment is not to be taken down because Americans have the right to protect their Civil Rights from any White Collar Criminal that violated rights of a American. Everything written on the report is true.

I'm just joking around with Sum 41 And Universal Records in listing # 7... It's all fun and games between myself and Hollywood! It's Todd Bullard, Esq. that violated my Civil Rights to an serious degree because he didn't tell me anything about the mental issues, he went behind my back like a snake in the grass.

I'm just writting this message for the younger kids. H. Todd Bullard, Esq. Served The papers to the defendants and lied on those papers and wrote Michael Sudore is going through psychologiical trauma and adverse and it never happened false information Todd went behind my back and didn't tell me on what he was doing. He has done more harm than he knows. He lied

I've talked to an Sgt Instructor from the U.S. Army and he said that I'm still U.S. Federal Government and these websites are being investigated, and I looked on the front of the Blogcritics Page and typed the informatiion in and my name did't pop up. So this is an conspiracy Chris you were told to remove this website about this situation and you have refused to do so. at least remove the psychological trauma from this hollywood article. and no-one looks at these comments anyways. U.S. Government has monitored this website and only the attorneys,and hollywood people look at these comments and they laugh. its no laughing matter to the U.S. Government
we think you are trying to over throw us and control us because its been repeated over and over again that you must remove these hollywood articles and everybody is refusing. I order you to remove the negative article about myself (pych trauma) your not going to control us we are going to control you, a print out has been made of this order under Federal Law. Serious violation hasseling The U.S. Government.

No I'm not just joking around with Sum 41 and Universal Records, I lied! There is no record of any lawsuit I'm not suing anybody! I was just playing brain games, but you people are serious. I don't fear you Go Away and take your toys with you! I don't want your money! And I don't listen to Sum 41's little nursey school music! I listen to Professional Hard Rock And Roll. You Can't take this down its my right to say what I want you don't like that then come to my house and tell me about it. God knows I don't waist my time with you. Hollywood websites under my name only since 2004 its obvious that your not going to make me star I don't care anyways.
I do business better else where. Wack Jobs. Your Nuts. I didn't say one word till 2011.
15 - Michael Sudore

16 - Michael Sudore
None Commisioned Officers in the U.S. Army can talk anyway they want. Its The Officers that must talk with caution in The U.S. Army
I Michael Sudore is an NCO. I speak to your level which is called U.S. Army Basic Training Level.
17 - Michael Sudore
Now Sum41 and Your Record Lables get out of my face! Leave! Go! Go Play Somewhere Else!
18 - Michael Sudore
Look at this website I just updated it! http://www.twilightedside.itgo.com Everybody knows about you Hollywood People,
So Called Celebrities, everyone knows that you people are ill minded.
19 - Michael Sudore
Ok Then your still here I know its you Sum 41 and your record lables that are keeping these websites up under my domain name Who else would care, everybody knows that.
michaelsudore.com in the search engines has
your websiites about this fake lawsuit.
and I know you paid off H. Todd Bullard, Esq. To go
against me. I can't prove it, but I know it.
I believe you paid H. Todd Bullard One Million And Five Hundred Thousand Dollars to proceed with the case without my authorization which Todd Bullard did. I dismissed H. Todd Bullard off the
case the minute I seen psychological trauma and in some websites says adverse effects also. which is false information Bullard made that up, or you Sum 41 told that idea
to
Todd Bullard, Todd
wrote false information on the serving papers. indicating an mental break down. which tells you Sum 41 and your record lables that Todd was taking your side and
that you did. That I can prove because the evidence is right on your screen in your blogcritics.org website.
I mean it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that out. And I have an print out of this website.
If I decide to get Attorney it won't be one from Rochester, New York the Attorney will be an Attorney with at least 12 years of college. Bullard only has 4 years of
College and he can't even comprehend 2+2
Plus he acts like a little kid he says the people that work at wegmans super market are characters and he says that about
other work force people.
and he isn't well liked in Rochester, New York. So I know if I sue you which I'm holding the higher card hand, Then you
sum41 and your record lables will just beat around the bush for years and years I'll never see a dime, I don't care about that I don't want your money. keep it your just little kids anyways. Kids behave better than you do. So if you keep these websites up about Michael Sudore Vs Sum 41 which are false because Bullard Violated the Civil Rights Of An U.S. Army CBT Engineer same as an U.S. Government Law Enforcement Agent. The U.S. Government knows about these sites and they know you are invading my domain name michaelsudore.com which I'm paying Gonyo to keep the domain name up of michaelsudore.com
You Sum 41 and your record
lables don't know me, I don't know you, and I don't want to know you. Bullard doesn't know me from Adam either.
So Just leave. These words
that I typed are the way the military spells words,
down to your level.
I'm not going to persue an lawsuit against you, but if you keep these websites up then I will And I will win because I know what I'm doing. Don't forget I was 8 years in the U.S. Army as an CBT Engineer I'm about an full staircase above you.
