Basically a schizoid loner kills himself after getting really into
EverQuest,
a RPG.  Loner's mom sues Sony (who makes the game); Sony refuses to give
out
info about the deceased activities.  She finds some socialworker-loser
who compares game to recpharms, instead of recognizing the
responsibility
of the mother and/or the deceased.  Article ends with mention of 1st
amendment
issues.

Woo-woo.
