Video Software Dealers Ass’n v. Schwarzenegger

Citation: Video Software Dealers Ass’n v. Schwarzenegger, 401 F.Supp.2d 1034 (N.D. Cal. 2005)

California enacted a statute that prohibited the sale or rental of “violent” games to minors, and both required violent games to be labeled with a 2-inch by 2-inch white “18” outlined in black. Federal District Judge Ronald Whyte has determined that the plaintiffs were “likely” to be able to show that the California statute violates the First Amendment and issued a preliminary injunction against its enforcement.
