We have such a litigious society because everyone's first response to anything is "sue em!"
And then these very same people act shocked and stunned when people sue businesses when they slip and fall or run out of chicken nuggets or whatever else.
You get the society you deserve.
This is not something to sue over. If Spike Lee isn't a douche he'll probably offer to pay for any expenses they had but there's no reason to go to court over something like this.

There is also this hillarious idea among lay people that the caliber of the lawyer matters when it comes to the law.
That is almost sig worthy. I wish I thought you were joking.

The law doesn't change. Perry Mason doesn't have a seperate set of law books with different laws in them.
Lawyers matter mainly when it comes to building cases and persuading juries. They fight over the facts because that's where 95% of cases are decided. The law is not usually much of an issue.
Good lawyers are good lawyers because they're good at getting the facts together and presenting them effectively. Not because they're good at looking up laws and finding some ridiculous loophole no one else has ever thought of.

Getting over it? The guy posted a prominent retraction, as he should have. He'll probably offer to pay any expenses they have, which should be pretty small.
In any rational society that would be the end of it.

I'd say this is a prime example of when to sue and I don't like the way people sue all then time.

Uhm... with the exception of the small punitive amount (tiny for someone like Spike Lee... barely a parking ticket to him...) that's pretty much what I said he should fork over. Reasonable security precautions he has now made necessary, and, basic expenses that have happened or will happen as a result. I was just more detailed in the line-items.
If they achieve that through settlement, all the better.
