ZippyDSMlee: Boyycotting only works when sheeple care, the masses have to want to care about subtleties, in general they do not thus why corporate gets as far as it does. However boycotting can raise a fuss and the bad PR might make them take note.

AM: @GP: Boycott is unlikely to be effective due to how few people would be aware/participate. That said, I boycott EA over their "3 installs then buy another copy" copy protection, so I can't say it's NOT a good idea.

GryphonOsiris: @Scribe, just read that. The reports are saying that is was a targeted killing. Odds are a bully, gang related or something.

gamepolitics: is a gamer boycott of atari, codemasters, topware and the other 2 UK firms who are extorting file-sharers a good idea?

Since we agree there has to be a limit somewhere, and there should be punishements for breaking the rules, we just need to determine where to put the limits.
This law would not prevent a parent from buying the game for a child (unlike the laws about adult movies), just prevent the child from buying it themself.
There are a myriad of laws preventing children from obtaining things they need to be older to obtain. Why is this one so evil? Could it be those railing against it are children themselves or people who profit off selling things to children?
