Soccer Player Seeks $267,000 in Compensation After a Sausage is Named After Him

22-year-old German international Bastian Schweinsteiger is seeking $267,000 in compensation from a butcher in Aichach-Friedberg who breached his individual rights by using his nickname as the name for a sausage. The butcher claims that he used "Schweini" on it's literal meaning - piggy, arguing that it was fair use considering the sausages were made of pork. Schweinsteiger had previously registered his nickname "Schweini" as a brand name. The butcher has been ordered by the court to provide details of how profitable the sausage was so that the amount of compensation due the Bayern Munich midfielder can be calculated.
