WILTON, CT – May 12, 2010 – The Entertainment Consumers Association (ECA), the non-profit membership organization that represents gamers, today confirmed that they will be submitting a friend of the court document (amicus brief) to the U.S. Supreme Court regarding the upcoming violence in video games case, Schwarzenegger v. EMA. Additionally, the association has created a gamer petition, which will be attached and submitted along with the brief, both formally becoming part of the official court documents.
“The Supreme Court has agreed to hear the State of California’s infamous ‘violent video game case’ later this year, or early next,” said Jennifer Mercurio, Vice President and General Counsel for the ECA. “At that time, the Court is going to listen to oral arguments on whether to agree with previous federal court findings or not. Agreeing would mean that they believe that video games are, and should continue to be, First Amendment protected speech; just like movies and music. The Court disagreeing would mean that video games should be treated differently, which the ECA strongly believes to be unconstitutional and could lead to new bills and laws curtailing video game access in states across the country.”
