I felt the need to sign up to bring this info to you. Sorry if I have posted this in the wrong forum. I did search for related topics and it seems no one else has posted about this:
Some of you may be aware of Take-Two's recent lawsuit against Jack Thompson:
If not let me explain
About a week ago, I read this on QJ.net:
Anyway, fast forward to this morning and I read this on the same site:

For a more general overview from the same site This Linky should help.
Anyway.. It seems Jack Thompson has brought Penny Arcade into his idiotic lawsuit fest...
Just thought I'd bring this to your attention.

Some of you may be aware of Take-Two's recent lawsuit against Jack Thompson:
If not let me explain
About a week ago, I read this on QJ.net:
From This LocationGamePolitics.com informs that Take-Two claims in its complaint that the action is necessary because:
Thompson has a history of making multiple threats of legal action, whether substantiated or not, both against (Take-Two) as well as the retailers who purchase the video games and offer them for sale to the public. Thompson has made such threats again in connection with Manhunt 2 and GTA IV...
Take-Two alleges that Thompson's public nuisance tactic violates their First Amendment rights.
Anyway, fast forward to this morning and I read this on the same site:
As expected, and promised by Mr. Thompson, he has filed his response to the Take-Two suit. He has also filed a countersuit that accuses Take-Two Interactive of multiple violations of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO), noting that the company has embarked on a continued effort to violate his constitutional rights since July 2005.
Aside from the claims of infringement upon his rights, what's noteworthy about Thompson's defense is that he seems to have claimed that the ESRB has found that Take-Two Interactive failed to disclose objectionable content in its role-playing game The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. The ESRB has said that it finds Bethesda Softworks at fault in that matter, not Take-Two.
Thompson also claims that Take-Two had a lot of help in breaking the law. The countersuit he's prepared also mentions the ESA, Penny Arcade, GameSpot, as well as a number of other companies and media outlets as having conspired and collaborated with Take-Two to commit racketeering activities.

Jack Knobson.
he is accusing them of being the mafia
i don't think that anyone can really argue about that
'cept for kids that like those kinds of games and are pissed that they might not be able to play them until they turn 18, i guess
i dont think we need a batshit insane "lawyer" to do this for them
and ain't no one gonna pay me any attention
get a loud, zany guy to do it and now everyone wants to look
wrap up your point in a spectacle and everyone will pay attention

i just like playing devils advocate
