VSDA, et al., v. Schwarzenegger, et al.
United States Court of Appeals Ninth CircuitFebruary 2009
On February 20, 2009, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals issued a unanimous ruling that upheld the Northern District of California Court's permanent enjoinment of California's violent video game law.
Upon exhaustively reviewing the research and studies provided by the state, the Honorable Consuelo M. Callahan stated that the court found that there was no "substantial evidence that supports the Legislature's conclusion that violent video games cause psychological or neurological harm to minors."
Callahan continued by stating that, "…there remain less-restrictive means of forwarding the State's purported interests, such as the improved ESRB rating system, enhanced educational campaigns, and parental controls."
