    I do not believe Lohan has a case.

    In the start-up for the game there is a wall of text. Of that wall of text
    something to note is the following:
    “The content of this videogame is purely fictional, is not intended to
    represent or depict any actual event, person, or entity, and any such
    similarities are purely coincidental.”

    I’m NOT saying this makes them immune from any legal action towards using
    likenesses, but when they don’t use real names and make it a very vague
    representation of a person, it certainly does make it harder for legal
    action to be filed against them.?

    what the fuck. If anything, it’s a parody of her. It’s not her name, it’s
    not her whole story. It’s a likeness. ” all characters in this game are
    fictional. Any likeness to anyone living or dead is purely coincidental.”
    SO GET OVER IT!?

    Does Lindsay Lohan have a leg to stand on? Absolutely not.

    As has been quoted time and again in this comments section, there are
    statements in the game’s terms of use & laws protecting Rockstar. Any good
    lawyer will know this & will refuse to represent her.

    Additionally, this seems more of a publicity stunt for the already-troubled
    star. The term “clutching at straws” springs to mind.?

    i think this will only end bad for Lohan.
    no one in their right mind would back her in this pathetic excuse to try
    and make money off the game.?

    to all the idiots out there just remember, judges are old white males and
    dont care shit about video games, but if they think that this “evil
    corporation” (rockstar) is verbally assaulting a woman, then she may very
    well win the case ?

    Unfortunately when you make a game as big as GTA V is you’re going to have
    some coincidences. The fact that they are sueing however is simply a
    pathetic way to make easy money.?

    No way in hell is Lohan going to win this. She has nothing better to do
    than sue a very successful game because she’s a shit actor and nobody is
    hiring her. Also, this is a form of satire or parody and South Park does
    this A LOT. And they don’t get sued because of the freedom of speech. ?

    If rockstar loses then karma has finally came back to bite them in the ass
    and they deserve it too. But really it is just an easy and pathetic way to
    make some cash I don’t know whither I should say I hope they win or lose
    but karma owes them a big ass whopping, alas may the best people win?

    If this bitch is suing RockStar for something as dumb as this, how are the
    South Park guys not getting sued by every celebrity in Hollywood??

    Honestly, Lohan is just fishing for cash now, since legally, her case is
    based on what could be viewed as coincidences. I mean, how could she sue
    them for using her likeness, when there are approximately 3 other people
    on planet earth who bear her likeness. Its like trying to sue another
    company for using a logo similar to yours. Even if it may be a little
    inspired off of yours, it is still an original logo, that the company your
    are suing owns.

    The clothing line that Lohan owns, looks more of a combination of other
    celebrity’s clothing, designer name clothing brands, and the average
    hipster outfit you would find on the streets on LA. Trying to sue Rockstar
    for using something similar is as shaky a grounds as her suing them for
    average, run of the mill, C list celebrity likeness.

    While the whole life story of the game character and Lohan mach up, she did
    not wright a book about it and copy wright it. In no way has she legally
    made her life story, hers and hers alone. As stupid as that may sound, in
    the eyes of the court, using a story similar to her life story, is
    perfectly legal.

    Her argument, while at first logically sound, has no legal ground to stand
    on. She (or her lawyer) likely knows this is, and is just fishing for money
    and attention.?
