			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Does the name <strong><a href="http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2005/10/14/">Jack Thompson</a></strong> evoke fear? <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Thompson_(attorney)">It should if you&#8217;re an avid video gamer</a>.</p>
<p>In my past lie  some things I&#8217;d rather soon forget, like the year in which &#8211; as a result of momentary weakness &#8211; I surrendered to the <a href="http://mason.gmu.edu/~rrotunda/lawyer-vulture.JPG">dark side</a> and went to law school. I&#8217;m not saying that <em>all</em> lawyers are evil, as that would be exaggerating.  It&#8217;s the same old story, though, when 97% are giving a bad name to all the others in the bunch.</p>
<p>I do, however, still tend to view issues from the legal perspective, from <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Series_of_tubes">net neutrality</a>  to <a href="http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/fire.html">copyright laws</a>, the long arm of the law usually has something to say about it. <strong><a href="http://www.clientelevision.com/">Clientelevision&#8217;s</a></strong> 5min studio <a href="http://www.5min.com/CaseinPoint"><strong>CaseinPoint</strong></a>  has a lot to say about the law. Even if you&#8217;re not <strong>Boston Legal</strong> fan, it&#8217;s worth hearing.</p>

<p>Although he&#8217;s displayed an endearing affection for Batman and his role as defender of the people, Thompson decided that it was time for a &#8220;No More Mr. Nice Guy&#8221; routine concerning video game violence, and sought legal action against <strong>Take-Two Interactive</strong> and <strong>Rockstar Games</strong>, the creators of the mega-successful <em>Grand Theft Auto</em> video game series, among other famous video games he&#8217;s rallied against. <a href="http://www.5min.com/Video/Violence-in-Video-Games-Lawsuit-34095653">Check it out here &#8211; and be afraid.</a> VERY afraid.</p>
