Why can't BUNGiE sue IGN? Or can they?

If BUNGiE wasn't planning on revealing anything yet what gave IGN the right to post leaked images? Is there not a law or something to stop that kind of thing? What the hell BUNGiE? Kick their asses! Also could they if they wanted to?

[/quote]You and everyone else pretty much covered it. Though coolmike is incorrect; the First Amendment does not apply to this situation.[/quote] It doesn't? As someone taking a legal writing class right now, could you explain this more? It might come in handy later. Is it because Bungie is a company, and what I said is about individuals? [/quote] 1st amendment deals with government legislation against press. One company suing another is civil in nature and falls under tort law.[/quote] It isn't limited to the press nor was it designed for the press exclusively. Rather, it was to prevent the government from being able to stop private citizens and private groups from expressing their displeasure with the government via published material, oral delivery and distributed propaganda (i.e. leaflets and pamphlets). Freedom of speech applies STRICTLY to the government and private citizens speaking about the government. Private companies, institutions and other entities can set and apply their own rules and regulations and the First Amendment does not apply.
