Take Two Files Suit Against Jack Thompson

Bullied writes "Take Two has tired of Jack Thompson's frivolous lawsuits and has filed a federal lawsuit in the Southern District of Florida to prevent him from filing any more 'nuisance' lawsuits. 'Take Two argues that the lawsuits violate its First Amendment rights to free expression, but it also claims that the suits are so vague as to be unconstitutional. "This unconstitutional vagueness will have a chilling effect on Plaintiff as well as Plaintiff's customers," says the company. "Plaintiff's distributors likely will respond to the uncertainty and fear of penalties by withholding Plaintiff's video games from the public."' Take Two also cites the disruptive effect Thompson's suits have on its retail partners."

    They should make Jack Thompson a character in GTA IV. Maybe a child rapist you must beat to death with the limbs of dead hookers.

    Barraty? Is that the legal concept of walking into court with a machinegun mounted on your arm and calls the judge "spikey-head?"

    I don't get it. Why doesn't Take Two just run him over with a stolen car?
