Group Drops 'Sopranos' Lawsuit

An Illinois appellate court has upheld a ruling dismissing the ridiculous suit by an Italian-American group against the makers of The Sopranos. Despite the above headline, this story says that they will try again.

Not to exaggerate, but this really is an important case, in the sense that all assaults on freedom of speech are important. As far as I can tell, the First Amendment hasn't come into play here (all cases were in Illinois' state courts, nothing Federal).
