Wilders Pays US$ 10,663 to Westergaard in “Copyright” Dispute

Westergaard ‘doesn’t agree with Wilders views about Islam’ and seems to think that he can somehow save his ass from the the Muhammad worshippers who’d love to chop his head off.

Dutch filmmaker settles with Muhammad cartoonist
COPENHAGEN, Denmark: A Danish cartoonist says he has received 55,000 kroner (US$10,663) from Dutch lawmaker Geert Wilders in a copyright dispute over a drawing of the Prophet Muhammad that was originally part of Wilders’ anti-Quran film.
Kurt Westergaard says Wilders used his cartoon without permission. The film, which sparked angry protests in Muslim countries, sets verses of the Quran against a background of images from terrorist attacks. The drawing eventually was removed from the movie.
