Jun 16th 2010 6:23PM (Joystiq)ESA 'humble' about chances against California in Supreme Court case
Jun 15th 2010 2:21PM (Joystiq)*"Although I don't think they should restrict games I would like to point out that saying the constitution provides protection, or that it is unconstitutional, is a common statement when game law is brought up, but sadly if you are using your right to free speech for the purpose of profit you fall outside of parts of the law."
ESA 'humble' about chances against California in Supreme Court case
Jun 15th 2010 2:01PM (Joystiq)Although I don't think they should restrict games I would like to point out that saying the constitution provides protection, or that it is unconstitutional. This is a comment thing said when game law is brought up, but sadly if you are using your right to free speech for the purpose of profit you fall outside of parts of the law.
If your primary focus is for profit, such as a video game, then how the right to free speech is applied can be determined at a state level. They are able to restrict when something is shown, where it is shown, and narrowly tailor the market it is available to, provided they don't require the change of speach and still provide a place for sale.
Also, if the court deems the need, special exceptions can be granted to further restrict any freedom of speech or expression on a whole host of things (slander, pornography, boycotted goods). Although this is most likely to never happen in the case of violent video games, as it hasn't happened with violence in television or movies.
You just can't "abridge" (as the first amendment says) what somebody can say, but that doesn't mean you can't restrict who can hear it, where they can hear it, where they buy it, where they sell it and so forth.
