Appeals court rules: Video games do qualify as free speech
by Elonka at 4:44 pm EDT, Jun 3, 2003

] Last April, Senior U.S. District Judge Stephen Limbaugh
] ruled that computer and video games had "no conveyance of
] ideas, expression or anything else that could possibly
] amount to free speech" in a St. Louis County case that
] sought to limit children's access to mature video games.
]
] The 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals disagreed, saying a
] "particularized message" is not required when it comes to
] the First Amendment.

Good news! I was baffled when Judge Limbaugh (yes, I hear he's related to Rush) ruled that video games didn't qualify under the first amendment. I'm glad to see that the appeals court overturned his decision!
