CHAPTER 7—INSIGHT INTO ETHICS:
WARNING LABELS FOR VIDEO GAMES
B1. North Carolina enacts a statute that requires a label on a video game to warn
parents when “the range of options available to a player include dismembering
or sexually assaulting the image of a human being.” In a challenge to the
statute by game makers, the state asks a federal court to enforce the statute.
The state fails to show that the statute is justified by a compelling government
interest or that it is narrowly tailored to serve that interest. The court is most
likely to
a. hold that the statute is unconstitutional and refuse to enforce it.
b. expand the label’s warning to include other forms of violence.
c. impose market-share liability on makers of violent video games.
d. replace the voluntary rating system currently in use.
