Video Game Voters Network
While I have reservations about the "The Family Entertainment Protection Act", I believe the Video Game Voters Network is mistaken when it claims "(g)overnment does not regulate access to or the sale of movies, books or cable TV" and should therefore not do the same for video games. Unless, that is, there are states where accesss to and the sale of material deemed pornographic or violent - especially to minors - is not subject to government regulation.
It seems to me a better argument to make is that video games should not be subject to regulation that would be considered unreasonable if applied to movies, books or television. Or better yet that people who would defend the freedom of expression of novelists or film makers should do the same for video game creators; these latter deserve no less despite the novelty and popularity of their medium.
