Coca-Cola reaches settlement with the dancing ninja cat band

Last December Rob Manuel from b3ta.com posted this on his blog concerning Joel Veitch from rathergood.com and the fact that Joel had produced a song and video called Ninja in 2005, then Coca Cola made an advert which looked and sounded almost exactly the same.

The story was picked up by several news organisations including the BBC and Sky.

Now after talks, Coke have agreed to an out of court settlement of an undisclosed sum.

Following the settlement, the advertisements have been taken off air, and Joel's band 7 Seconds of Love retain all the rights.

Yay for Joel!

With videos.
