| Oct 11 2009 As you’re probably aware, Australia doesn’t have an 18+ rating for video games (though it does for other types of media such as films and publications). It’s not a stretch to see why. At the time the legislation was applied to video games, such games were the province of the young, and it is only recently that they’ve grown up, right? Wrong. From their inception, video games (particularly computer games) were played by all ages.
Got a news tip or a press-release? Send it to news@taterunino.net. Sep 18 2009 Okay, back on the topic of Australia’s proposed Internet filtering system, which is continuing to move forward. The films V for Vendetta and American Gangster from iTunes are now blocked to those who would purchase them but are a part of the trial system. Why? Because iTunes requires no more than a valid credit-card payment as a verification method for access to mature content. Does that sound like anyone we know? If you haven’t already read about it, you’ll find that there are far more dire problems with the proposal than just the blocking of online games/games-sales or the possibility of blocking Second Life. Now if that doesn’t get you thinking about hustling over to talk to your local MP or Senator, I’m not sure quite what will. | Support us...or use Flattr  | |||||||
