The judge said the Video Software Dealers Association and Entertainment Software Association "were likely to succeed" in their lawsuits arguing that the law violates free-speech rights. The law prohibits retailers from selling or renting violent video games to those 17 and under, imposes a $1,000 fine on violators and mandates stricter product labeling.
