Role Reversal: Take Two Sues Jack Thompson
One of the biggest thorns in the side of the video game industry, Jack Thompson, is being sued by Take Two. Thompson seems to be one of those people who does not believe games are covered under the First Amendment rights of free expression, and has been known to file lawsuits regularly against Take Two and retailers for games like Bully, and has attempted to enact various violence in video games laws (all of which have been dismissed by courts) in the past. Another win showing that video games are, in fact, covered by the First Amendment. More at Ars Technica.

If video games didn’t exist, Thompson would be attacking TV/Movies, if they didn’t exist, he would be working to ban music. He is the classic demagogue for personal gain and attention.
