All I can say is, the OP had better hope AP has a sense of humor, because if not something like that could be actionable in court.

(Do you think Burger King would be very happy if I went around to various message boards and claimed my friend found e.coli in the meat?)

As for me, I appreciate the comic relief. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Its actually worse than that. The analogy would be more along the lines of, my friend purposefully infected several Burger King Food stores with E-Coli. (Remember he's claiming his friend designed a virus and then hacked Absolute Poker). If it weren't for the problems of anonymity and jurisdictional nightmares faced by any company trying to litigate something internet-related, Absolute Poker might have a real case against this guy.

No, actually thanks to Larry Flynn, the Supreme Court has recognized parody as protected speech. AP wouldn't have a cause of action.
