The battle continues. This is still that Leland Yee bill that was blocked in 2006, on appeal.
LOS ANGELES–A U.S. appeals court ruled Friday that a California law restricting the sales and rental of violent video games to minors and imposing labeling requirements is too restrictive and violates free-speech guarantees.
The Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals found that the labeling requirement unfairly forces video games to carry “the state’s controversial opinion” about which games are violent.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
Wow, the ninth too. I agree with the court’s opinion, but I don’t get why they laid it partially on the controversy of the labeling requirement. To my understanding, the label requirement was just a big “18”. Is that a statement of opinion? I kind of lol’d.
