   It's not like the US has any more balls when it comes to DRM, though.

   Yes, it does affect adults, as these laws are not needed nor warranted for any other form of entertainment. You sound like you're talking about GTA. Guess what, GTA is rated MA!!! It's not marketed towards kids. It's not for kids. Neither is Natural Born Killers, the movie. Or Godfather. If some dumba** parent buy their kid Godfather, that parent gets and deserves what ever "happens" to their kid. Video games are just another medium for art and entertainment, no idfferent than motion pictures or television or movies. We have some kind of rating system for all of those. We do not go to such lengths as we do here. Games have been around for over 4 decades now, the only people who consider these to be a "kids only" medium are those who are so old to be adults when the medium started, and will die off soon with this illogical thinking.

   You do know that there isn't laws that outlaw such situtuions with R-rated movies, don't you? A video game is no different than a movie, or television show... there are rating systems for all of these, but only video games as of late gets picked on for these "alledged" cases of selling to minors. There is no such jailtime for selling an R-Rated movie, or for the "accidental" broadcast of an MA-Rated television show to a child. Nor is there jailtime/fins for these alledged cases against selling CDs with explicit lyrics. This is how our system is set up now curently, I don't see any reason to change things. The vlountaryt ratings system works in favor of both children and consenting adults, and only doesn't work if you're a dunba** parent or a negligent parent, and it's not the governmet's responsibility to legislate that, which is one among many reasons why these laws get struck down.
