[car-pga] Video Games before Supreme Court

The landmark free speech case about videogames, Schwarzenegger vs.
EMA, will be argued before the Supreme Court on Tuesday. The case was
brought by the State of California in an effort to overturn a ruling
by the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals in which the state's law
restricting the sale of violent videogames to children was struck
down.

If allowed to stand, a whole new class of content could be regulated,
and while videogames may be especially vulnerable to this line of
attack (proponents of the law argue that games are different because
players actually participate in simulated violent acts, rather than
experiencing them passively), other media would be likely to follow.
