The only problem in giving examples lies in the fact that both
protagonists and antagonists of an issue can give perfectly
plausible examples to illustrate their points. Unfortunately, these
examples do nothing more than illustrate the person's viewpoint, it
cannot, by definition, prove anything for either side.
When citing court cases as examples, it is important to remember
that there often many details not included. Such as with the
Mayfair/TSR case. That case revolved around several different
issues, one of them being that TSR did not like the words "any
RPG" being used in the same blurb with "as D&D". It has been a
while since I read through the whole thing (including several other
related cases (such as the suit by Dave Arneson vs TSR), but at
least I remember that much.......
