Judge Throws Out Michigan Violent Games Law

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the judge-uses-finishing-move-on-opposing-council dept.

kukyfrope writes "The Entertainment Software Association (ESA) gained another victory today as Judge George Caram Steeh struck down the Michigan law previously attempting to ban the sale of certain games to minors, ruling the law unconstitutional. Judge Steeh is pushing for evidence showing the link between playing violent video games and actual acts of violence committed by players."
