Apparently, this is just the latest in a series of similar incidents around the country.
When I first heard about the law, I thought that it made sense. After all, I though that there were similar laws fining movie theaters if they let minors in to see R rated movies. It turns out I was wrong. The MPAA ratings are, and have always been, voluntarily enforced by movie chains, and are not legally instated.
Having learned this, I changed my tune and opposed the legislation.
Just FYI.

Movie ratings are voluntary with the understanding that if the movie companies don't enforce them Congress will make laws to accomplish the same goal.
ReplyDeleteSuch a law may be struck down, but the movie companies aren't willing to risk it.
I have a feeling we have not seen the end of the video game debate.
