My general inclination is to sit back with popcorn and a beer and watch this slugfest metastasize. But there is one minor point I'd like to toss out. It seems to me that Richards and all the other supporting cast in Seinfeld made a $hitload of money in the last one or two seasons. A lot like Friends and other successful programs that had run long enough to supply syndicated reruns - I seem to recall that the supporting cast was getting $13M each for the final season. So - if that is true, and unless Richards is a spendthrift, I'm not sure it's possible to develop a lot of sympathy for the fact that his "career" may be in a graveyard spin at this moment. He can retire nicely anytime he wants to.

Oh, an additional point. Don't most tickets to clubs and live performances warn that there are no recording devices, cameras or video recordings allowed of the performance? It seems to me that Richards could go after the club for lax enforcement and the club could go after the video-taper for breaching the implied contract in admission to the performance.

"I'm not sure it's possible to develop a lot of sympathy for the fact that his "career" may be in a graveyard spin at this moment. He can retire nicely anytime he wants to."

I think he pointed out that fact to his "patrons" that night. He said something along the lines of 'When I wake up tomorrow, I'll still be rich, and when you wake up, you'll still be a - - - -". ( and Rosie O'Donnel will still be ugly)
