I voted no because the idea, on it's face, is ****tarded.

If a gun manufacturer can't be sued (Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act) when a purchaser uses a gun to commit a crime (a protection I support, by the way), I see no reason why or how that can be turned around where a manufacturer could sue a purchaser for using the product in a manner inconsistent with the manufacturer's wishes or values.

Its generally based on the premise that a cake is a form of art, which would give the "artist" (in this case the baker) say over how their product is used. Afterall, that is part of the contention being used for why they should not be involved in a same sex marriage by baking/decorating a cake for them.
