I've never been able to tell any difference whatsoever between Hollywood Law and Artistic License – Law. I think they should be merged, and probably the Long List of Hollywood Law variants should become Analysis.Artistic License Law.

The difference is that Hollywood Law is for the common portrayal thereof while Artistic License – Law is for any error a writer might do. This isn't quite an adequate case for a thread, so closing.
