LDS ChurchACLU, EFF file briefs supporting Mormon Stories in Church lawsuit
The American Civil Liberties Union of Utah and the Electronic Frontier Foundation have filed amicus briefs supporting John Dehlin's Mormon Stories podcast in its trademark dispute with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, according to The Salt Lake Tribune. Both organizations argue the Church's lawsuit threatens free speech and fair use protections.
The briefs urge the federal court to dismiss the case, warning that allowing religious organizations to control common religious terms could set dangerous precedents for online expression and commentary. The Church filed suit claiming Mormon Stories infringes on its trademarks.
