In the Sony (NYSE:SNE) PlayStation 3 game "Resistance: Fall of Man," members of a ragtag human army stage a bloody shootout with an alien enemy inside the Church of England's legendary Manchester Cathedral. Displaying a shocking disregard for the rights of virtual contestants to slaughter one another, the Church has voiced a strong protest over the use of its cathedral as a setting for the mayhem. It has demanded an apology and deletion of the cathedral from the game, with the possibility of a lawsuit if the company does not comply.The Druids were reported to be watching the controversy with interest, reserving the possibility of filing suit against a multitude of companies that have used the image of Stonehenge in their marketing.

Personally, I'm wondering how much money Google (NASDAQ:GOOG) makes from links from Google Map searches of my neighborhood, in which my house appears. If the COE wins, I wonder if I could use the precedent to pursue a lawsuit of my own?
