A child can walk into a store and buy pornography. Any restrictions on that are determined by the seller. The MPAA maintains control over whether a film is too mature for a younger audience, and they set the guidelines for admittance to the film, but not for the sale of the DVDs. The ESA (who established the ESRB) work extremely hard to rate video games based on content, inform parents and guardians of that content, and restrict the sale of mature content to minors without parental consent on every item sold. Apparently, even with stricter standards set by the industry, people still want government involvement. Federally speaking, this hasn't happened in other industries, but video games violence gets all that press. This has always been a topic of interest for me and I hope the Supreme Court realizes the most important part of this issue: the industry is already regulated. And better than any other entertainment industry. Remember Oblivion and Hot Coffee?
