Games & The Law

STLtoday (thanks Slashdot) has more on the legal wrangling over game violence in St. Louis (story), saying: "St. Louis County officials have decided not to give up on outlawing sale of violent video games to minors despite a recent tide against their effort. Last week, county lawyers asked that the full 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in St. Louis review an adverse decision from a three-member panel of its judges." Also, 'POSTAL' Video Game Victorious Over U.S. Postal Service (thanks Frans) is the press release announcing that a six-year-old lawsuit brought by the U.S. Postal Service against Running with Scissors over their gratuitously violent action game "has been dismissed with prejudice" by the Trademark Trial and Appeals Board of the U.S. Department of Commerce. Included are some barbs aimed at the Postal Service, Senator Joe Lieberman, and the postmaster general.
