IDSA Changes Name To ESA · Slashdot Mirror

Thanks to Gamers.com for their article pointing out that the IDSA (International Digital Software Association) has changed its name to the ESA (Entertainment Software Association). The article indicates that "The former IDSA's updated title does not in any way alter the organization's mission of representing and serving the needs of video game publishers in North America", and it's likely the organization will continue with both aggressive games-as-free-speech lobbying and similarly aggressive copyright enforcement. There's a new official ESA site, which, it must be noted, has absolutely nothing to do with launching rockets.

If they are shutting down a perfectly legal site hosting only emulators and no ROMS, then we are against them.

If they are fighting yet another braindead law about selling M rated games to minors, then we are for them.
