A federal judge has barred Louisiana officials, for now, from enforcing a new law that criminalizes sales of violent video games to minors. U.S. District Judge James Brady in Baton Rouge, LA, on Thursday issued a preliminary injunction against a state bill signed into law by Democratic Gov. Kathleen Blanco in June. Under its terms, anyone caught selling to children video games that “depict violence in a manner patently offensive to prevailing standards in the adult community with respect to what is suitable for minors” faces fines of between $100 and $2,000 and up to a year in prison.
