Does anyone know of any action the industry can take when a lawyer's actions start to border on harrassment?
This is ridiculous.
Jack Thompson should be declared a public nuisance.
Wow. I just read that and thanks to your avatar imagined Mayor West saying it.Originally Posted by Joker T

this guy is a moron... complete and total moron.... enough already.
To be this good takes AGES
To be this great takes SEGA!!
A-fucking-men
seriously - he should be sued for the same thing. Because technically, he has become one. He's obviously wasted plenty of the courts time and resources.
And hey Jack.... If you do happen to get a trial, somehow, good luck going up against MS. Their lawyers will fuck you up the ass with a spiked concrete dildo and no vaseline, and not think twice about it. But hey, it's your suicide, Jack...

I kinda hope he actually gets to take this to court so MS lawyers can rip him a new asshole.

Will he ever give up, I hope he goes bankrupt soon, and leaves our precious games alone.
some people just never learn......
Here's a direct link in case the topic gets bumped someday.
I guess he saw one too many cans of that Mountain Dew Game Fuel or something.

Maybe he tried the stuff.

Depends what the "legal" definition of harrassment is. I doubt this qualifies.
It could, but I don't think at this point, unless the game industry choices to pursue it, anything can be done.
Oh, so your MBA qualifies you to make legal judgments, too, now? How wonderful. Nice tautological fallacy in your second paragraph, by the way.
Here's my feedback thread: http://www.digitpress.com/forum/show...ht=FantasiaWHT
Under the United States Code Title 18 Subsection 1514(c)1. Harassment is defined as "a course of conduct directed at a specific person that causes substantial emotional distress in such a person and serves no legitimate purpose".
Does that help you genius?

Hey Jack Thompson, I think you need a nice rich cup of pure 100% American grown:

These cartridges are dirty as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore!
LOOK AT ME! Come on guys LOOK AT ME!! The more attention I get, the better I feel about myself! COME ON GUYS - LOOK AT ME PLEASE!
Damn, he gets more and more ridiculous every time a new console releases. I find it pretty ironic that he's saying all this about the marketing campaign, when you can turn on almost any channel on your TV and see the same, if not worse (as in graphic content, not poorly designed) content for hundreds of other products. Although, I am pretty surprised that he hasn't even said anything about GTA4 yet, since on the the first missions is supposedly breaking into a lawyers office and killing a lawyer thats supposed to represent him.
Pwned.
And I agree with you, the wording there doesn't work, but I was also referring as well to action an industry can take when it's clear that a lawyer is wasting time and money. I mean, the industry has to spend cash every time they defend themselves.
Then again, remember those email exchanges between Thompson and that woman from Take Two? That was borderline harassment.
I thought he said he was threatening to block the release of the game. *Snorts* Boy should go back to law school. Parody and satire aren't actionable. Unless he plans on arguing that Rockstar is attempting to send coded messages to gamers who will in turn have him killed.
What a fucking jackass, seriously.
