i dont get it, but 5'd for scientology. though, i'm pretty interested to know what you're talking about

Go to the site I put in the description, it'll explain it better than I can.

pwned

B-but Larry Flynt got shot and paralysed!!!

I dig the stare decisis, but the YTMNDs listed in the complaint don't bear the same disclaimers, which I would latch on if I were a lawyer for those Scientologist freaks. That said, the disclaimer Max put up should keep the main site up, but if this is the only defence we can mount, I see all the named YTMNDs being deleted.

Husler V. Falwell - Public figures (or institutions) not able to sue for libel or slander damages. Their presence in the public eye does not allow for these lawsuits. Its how the tabloids always get away. Boom Headshot. Nice YTMND, very well thought out.

5d for free speech!

Precedent just owned Scientology

It's not just about the disclaimers. Scientology claims they are so well known and famous how in the world can anyone "confuse" their mark with the parody?

Well done.

Everything a YTMND ought to be. Maketh thy mouth alive with Diet Ko-Ka-Ko-LUH.

Okay i get it, but not that funny sorry...

pwnd

5 for law knowledge! Plus pwning $cientology.

Either Scientology can lose their tax exempt status or they can stfu when people choose to make fun of them.

DAMN RIGHT, or just watch People vs. Larry Flint. Good movie.

C-C-C-C-C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER

great one, well thought out

5 if you can beat them at their own game, then it really means that they must suck.

Scientology gets pwned again

Umm, no, more like lack of any judicial ground to stand on. That was a libel case, if I remember correctly, this is a cease and desist request.

Yes. Good try, but charges of IP violation are not about libel and emotional distress.

"Fair comment and criticism" is the best part of the fair use doctrine.

I'd give you four stars for knowing about that case, but they're right, it's not really relevant to the Scientology case.

Shhhh... Don't you know scientologist have already took over the judicial branch and nearly 2/3 of the Senate and House. We need to set up a hunting trip with the leaders of scientology and dick chenney before it's too late.

Oh holy sh*t! 5'd for someone who actually has knowledge of what the first amendment is and how it is applied. 5'd for someone with an IQ above 40. Thank God you exist.

You guys are idiots. Seriously f*cking stupid. What do you mean it doesn't have any application to the Scientology suit? In ever first amendment case tried at the supreme court, it's the controlling case in the brief. For those of you who don't know because you were homeschooled, the 1st Amendment protects the right to free speech.

scientology has no argument, but then again, if they've got judges in their pockets, it may not matter that this site is protected by the good ol' first. corrupt politics? America invented them

5 for Hustler magazine

Ka-five!

Stick it to the man!

The law student in me had an orgasm at this.

Nice, but I don't think this is a parody/libel thing. They're suing because all church materials are copyrighted.
