The law does not protect people who only *feel* threatened.  The law
protects those who actually were.  Otherwise, people could make
millions by feeling threadtened at anything and everything that
comes their way.  That is why the law is in place.

And how bout if the tobacco industry is losing money, and there is
evidence to show that the anti-smoking commercials are responsible for
this?  You don't think the anti-smoking commercials should pay for the
damage they've done?  And it's not fair that they get to advertise on
TV and the cigarette companies don't.  Another violation of free speech.

Now to relate this to MK, or at least video gaming...

We've all heard about the Nintendo64 emulator, UltraHLE or something...
right?  I think it was a wise decision on their part to back out,
because they would have lost a lawsuit by Nintendo (for violating
another law that the government would fee should have existed).
