Filed in archive Game News on March 19, 2007

Take Two does a pre-emptive strike against Attorney Jack Thompson by filing a suit. The suit alleges that Thompson's public nuisance tactic violates Take Two's first amendment rights.

With Thompson threatening to file suit to block the release of Grand Theft Auto 4 and Manhunt 2, Take Two has petitioned the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida for relief.

The software publisher seeks to block Thompson from trying to have the games declared a public nuisance under Florida law. Thompson filed a similar action against Take Two's Bully last October, but a Florida judge rejected Thompson's contention, allowing Bully to be sold by retailers.
