36 433 U.S. 562, 573 n.10, 576 (1978) (stressing that the Court was dealing only with the narrow version and not the broad one).

37See, e.g., Comedy III Prods., Inc. v. Gary Saderup, Inc., 80 Cal. Rptr. 2d 464, 471 (Ct. App. 1998) (concluding, in a name-or-likeness case, that Zacchini “considered, and rejected, a First Amendment defense to liability for infringement of the right of publicity”), aff'd, 25 Cal. 4th 387 (2001); Landham v. William Galoob Toys, Inc., 227 F.3d 619, 622 (6th Cir. 2000) (“The right of publicity [speaking of a right to control one's name or likeness] is a creature of state common law and statute and originated as part of the common-law right of privacy. The Supreme Court has recognized its consistency with federal intellectual property laws and the First Amendment, see generally Zacchini ....”). Some law review articles make the same mistake.

39 A Lexis search in the NEWS;US file for “(shouting fire in a theatre or shouting fire in a theater or shouting fire in a crowded theatre or shouting fire in a crowded theater) and date(< 1/1/2002)” yielded 333 results. The same query with “falsely” before the “shouting” yielded only 72. Some of these results were false positives (e.g., stories that used the metaphor more broadly than just in a free speech context, and the occasional story discussing the common omission of “falsely”), but only relatively few.

40Cf. Editorial, Misjudgment of “Nuremberg,” Omaha World–Herald, Mar. 30, 2001, at 16 (acknowledging that the Holmes quote was limited to “falsehood,” but arguing that it should also apply to speech that implicitly urges the killing of abortion providers).

41See, e.g., National Safety Council, Injury Facts 9 (2000).

42 The article cites National Safety Council, Accident Facts (1980), without giving a page number, but the fatal firearms accidents broken down by age range appear on p. 7 of Accident Facts, where the accidents for children under 5 are given as 60, for age 5 to 14 as 300, and for 15 to 24 as 600. The 1000 figure must thus refer to ages 0 to 24.
