Complaint seeks to stop people from copying, selling 'Second Life' sex code

Titans Obtain A Restraining Order To Keep Pacman Off TNA PPV

The Tennessee Titans have obtained a restraining order to prevent Adam “Pacman” Jones from participating in TNA’s Hard Justice pay-per-view this Sunday night, according to Chris Mortensen of ESPN.com.

Today, the Titans organization said in a prepared statement, "In June we stated that we didn't expect to comment on Adam Jones until his suspension was complete. Regrettably, we feel it necessary to explain our action today,"

"Today we filed a motion in Williamson County asking for a court order preventing Jones from participating in any wrestling activity," the statement read.

As an organization, we feel it is our obligation to protect our rights in this instance."...More?
