Simon Cowell: Bizarrely dreadful! Amazingly dreadful! One of the worst voices I've ever heard in my life. Excruciating the Opera. What's the problem?
Irwin Kramer: Wouldn't you just love to sue Simon?
Simon: Honestly, one of the worst I've ever heard in my life.
Contestant: The worst?
Simon Cowell: Yeah, honestly.
Irwin Kramer: One fellow who has already done that. Harry Keane wasn't a contestant on American Idol, he claims to have been its creator. First conceiving the idea in 1995.
Simon Cowell: I mean, are you serious?
Irwin Kramer: Having produced more obscure musicals, Keane says that he tried to market a talent show called 'American Idol' with mass emails, internet postings and marketing materials to sell his idea to a larger production company or network, nobody bought.
Simon Cowell: I think we just couldn't say no and wish you lots of luck and huge scope.
Irwin Kramer: So imagine Keane's surprise when his vision came to life on a hit TV show.
Simon Cowell: You are not serious.
Irwin Kramer: No matter what Simon says, if Keane came up with the idea first, isn't he entitled to some form of compensation, not in Federal Court he isn't. By posting his great idea all over the internet, the court thought he bloated it out and could hardly expect to be paid for it.
Simon Cowell: Oh my gosh! What a horrible nightmare!
Irwin Kramer: For the Legal Television Network, I am Irwin Kramer.
