Lousiana judge blocks JT-penned bill
The recently-signed Louisiana violent games bill has been temporarily blocked by a federal judge in Baton Rouge, pending a hearing on June 30th. The bill gained notoriety among gaming circles due to its author: famed anti-game activist Jack Thompson. The law, recently signed by Louisiana governor Kathleen Blanco, would have taken effect immediately.
The Entertainment Software Association has already mounted a lawsuit to strike this new law from the records. So far, their track record is flawless, so we are betting the same will be said here.
