A three-judge panel of the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in favor of FairLDS, Scott Gordon, and Allen Wyatt and against Sandra Tanner and Utah Lighthouse Ministry.
This lawsuit was an effort to limit free speech by making an online parody websites legally actionable. The case was previously thrown out in summery judgment by the Tenth Circuit Court for the District of Utah, but Mrs. Tanner appealed.

Been that way all my life. I'm trying to change, that's why I'm considering obama - hope and change.
OOPS, I see your comment was addressed to someone else and you included me in the address bar as a courtesy.
Hope and change - I’m hanging in there.
Some pigs are more equal than others?
Oink, oink...
BTW, did you know that you can go to Nazareth, but can't get a ticket to Nephi?
Well, how about a simple trip to Hill Cumorah. FARM/Maxwell folks don’t believe it to be in New York, but in Central America, as well as possibly in Indonesia too.
Don't hose me bro..!!
You mean Tom Tom Go doesn’t have it in it’s memory?
I’m hoping for change as well. With God all things are possible.
I always thought that when you pinged a bunch of people, the first person on the list was the one who the post was addressed to and the other names were just courtesy pings.
I’ve run into an awful lot of people who don’t see it that way. People I’ve courtesy pinged often get bent out of shape about my comment to them when they’re the third or fourth name on the list.
Is that not the correct procedure or have I got it wrong?
Because it annoys them almost as much as they annoy me.
Please direct me to the source of that assertion if it actually exists—that Jesus had plural wives, that Joseph is a descendant of Jsus through one of His plural wives. If such teaching is in fact real then the cult of Mormonism can be blasted out of the water immediately by exposing that mormonism aspect. Of course, we can expect the mormonism apologists to claim ‘that teaching is not authorized from Salt Lake City thus it is not doctrine’, but what’s new?
I noticed where numerous Saints on this thread laud the courts for upholding free speech but ...
Didn't the LDS Church threaten the Tanners with legal action when they published the above books disclosing the Mormon Temple Ceremony ...

You seem to want to make copyright infringement the same as free speech.
Good confusion, the unthinking will agree with you.

There is a difference between COPYRIGHT infringement and free speech.
Of course, some will mix any two things together, even though they do not go together, to make there point.
You are right, if the Tanners had thought to Copyright their material, the would have won the suit, as they had in getting their domain names back...
It is a common mistake small businesses make...
Interesting you say that....

We are only talking about the web address, aren't we.
I know, how dare I, a gentile, question...
that’s why I’m considering obama

Read Dan Brown..
He knows all about it...
His books will surely become mormon canon, along with the other fiction..
Thus it is written, thus it is so..
