Virtual Legal Reality


Tomorrow on Ipso Facto, we're talking video games.  In California a ban on selling violent video games to minors has faced multiple constitutional hurdles.  Does banning video games infringe peoples right to freedom of expression?  Does violence in video games breed violence in kids?

 Tomorrow, we'll find out.  We're talking with Tudor Carsten, a lawyer with Davis LLP in Toronto whose area of expertise is cyber law.  He also regularly contributes to Davis' very popular Video Game Law Blog.

We'll also be joined by Anton van Hamel, an intern with the Children's Media Awareness Network, to discuss what current research says about the effect of video games on youths.

Ipso Facto is broadcast every Wednesday at 8 AM on CJAM 99.1 FM, and on www.cjam.ca
