Document Summary
Conduct that is outrageous and exceeds the bounds of decency so far as to be intolerable in a civilized community. Snyder v. phelps (2011)- very fact specific holding. Armstrong v. h & c communications demonstrates that infliction isn"t dead yet- still a threat to media. Harm to self - hustler case, ozzy osborne, judas priest. Harm to others- paducah, ky. school shooting, grand theft auto case. Aiding and abetting civil claim trumps first amendment in this outlier case. Any word, name, symbol or device used to distinguish one product/service from another. Main source of federal law on trademarks is lanham act.
