The estate of Hulk Hogan and Bubba the Love Sponge (Todd Alan Clem) have reached a settlement in their copyright case.
The agreement dissolves an injunction, restraining order blocking the release of Video Killed The Radio Star, the feature-length documentary exploring the Tampa radio wars, the unlawful release of the private Bollea video and the ensuing media fallout.
The exact entails of the agreement are not known.
Hogan’s son Nick has initially filed for the injunction claiming that the documentary used Hogan’s trademarks without permission and requested damages as well.
Woltz Films, LLC, which intervened as a co-defendant in the action, was also a party to the settlement.
“Reaching this settlement allows all parties to put the legal process behind them and ensures the film can be viewed in its intended form,” said a spokesman for Woltz Films.
Produced by Woltz Films, Video Killed The Radio Star sheds light on how the unlawful publication of a video showing Bollea’s intimate relations with Clem’s wife occurred during a volatile era in Tampa’s radio war landscape. The film is available for purchase or rental on the streaming services Apple iTunes, Amazon Prime and Google Play.
