Maybe one side really got hurt, and I dont know the facts but:
THANK YOU JUDGE!!!!!
The Judge basically said; "Hey, you bazillionaires, stop tripping over yourselves trying to get offended and 'damaged' and buck up, stop clogging up the court with this bullshit.
Money? You all get zip.
NICE!!!!!!!!!!!

NEW YORK - A Manhattan judge ruled Wednesday that there was no winner in the ugly court battle between Rosie O'Donnell and the publisher of her defunct magazine, saying neither side would collect any damages.
Minutes after both sides rested in the case, state Supreme Court Justice Ira Gammerman issued his surprising ruling to conclude the bench trial.
"It seems to me ... we're just dealing with bragging rights here, who wins and who loses," Gammerman said. With his ruling, neither side wins - although O'Donnell could still ask for publisher Gruner+Jahr USA to cover her legal fees.
Gammerman said there was no evidence or testimony during the contentious trial indicating that either side had caused the other to suffer damages.
Both parties invested money, the magazine lost money, and then it folded, he said. "There's no evidence that the magazine would have made any money at all," he said.
