video games and the law

In a surprising turn for the sensible, the Supreme Court ruled that video games are protected by free speech in the same way that literature is. Through the ESRB rating system, the video game industry has been policing itself and despite what some crazy parents think, I consider that effective.

I'm still on the fence if video games are art. But

I think video games qualify as art. Maybe most of them don't reach the level of great art, but I think the same could be said of most books, movies, music, etc. that we commonly recognize as art.
