Evel Knievel has settled out of court on his trademark infringement suit against Kanye West, which is good news, because Kanye hardly needs any more stress in his life just now. As previously reported, Knievel sued West after the hip hopper appeared in the video to 'Touch The Sky' dressed as the iconic daredevil stuntman. Knievel argued that the sequence, made without his permission, violated his trademarks. West's people said the video was 'satire' which is allowed under the first amendment. But after meeting with Kanye at his Florida home an out of court deal with Knievel has been reached. So hurrah for that.
