Rex Dangerstein	Posted - 2007.05.30 20:16:00 - [1] You guys do realize that CCP can't really do anything to SA right? Here are some raisins: 1.) CCp is in the frozen north, not based in America so they would have to bring up feloy charges(which won't happen, because Iceland's cybercrime laws only allow for fines) just to get a case in court. 2.) Since Iceland has no seperation of church and state any case they would make againist an American institution or persons can be instantly thrown out of court by claiming the first amendment. Law is fun

The user base of somethingawful forums decided to branch off and play a game they took the name "Goon" with them since they would only allow forums users to join corp. Good luck with any legal action on that. Pvt Sammich please sue.... ...my heart In other news, this topic is stupid.

The first amendment only protects against the Government. Actually, in legal-lawyering doubleplus goodspeak, If the country bringing you to trial has no seperation, you can claim it againist your beliefs and call the case biased againist you. Unless the entity is in fact based in Iceland.

A man buys groceries from the grocery store. One day he buys a steak. He eats the steak and is fine. Near a month later, he and the grocery store owner have a disagreement. The customer immediatley begins feigning sick saying it was the steak that made him life-threateningly ill. He goes on the live television telling all the grocery stores customers that shopping there will make you sick. He then gets 4000 of his buddies to picket outside said grocery store until they are cleared off by police. An investigation by police finds the man made it all up. What would happen? The customer would get his ass sued off by the store. Absolutely no difference in this case. Except they couldn't do anything to Something Awful itself for it. Why? Because the actions were carried out by a small portion of its tens of thousands of paid forum subscribers, also known as "Goons", and not by Something Awful itself. Thus, you'd have to pick out each and every one of them to file suit against, which I suppose wouldn't be too hard for someone with all their contact information on file. Just a slught nitpick, but SA membership hit 100,000 last nightish I think. Also, knowing a lot of goons, CCP would be searching Azerbaijan for several hundred people by the name Leonard Butteska.

Having a state religion doesn't mean that there is no freedom of religion. It's a rather strange argument anyway, the first amendment of the US constitution is a rule that the US congress needs to abide by. What does that have to do with a US citizen in court vs ccp from iceland? Believe it or not, Iceland is different in the fact that there is no law protecting freedom of religion, ergo, conflicting with US law, so it can be thrown out. Unless it's one of those activist judges Fox News talks about....

The US state dept. says there is freedom of religion provided by the constitution of Iceland. (here) 2. How does a non-existant conflict with US law enter into a case about internet spaceships. 3. I'm sure Icelandic tax laws are different from US law, maybe thats enough ground to get it thrown out on? Oh, nevermind then. That'll show me for getting information from Wikipedia

I have consulted my (C)rack Team of Ivy League Lawyers (CTILL)... Did your CTILL team also mention that in order to recover your $15 it will cost you $500,000 in CTILL fees? Just add a 10mil suit for "Personal Suffering" and you may see a profit yet.
