Gamers' eyes on Utah
The Utah House passed, on a vote of 70-2, a bill that would allow people to sue retailers for false advertising if they sell age-inappropriate videogames to underage customers - if they advertise policies to prevent such sales.

The gaming world is watching the bill closely (the blog GamePolitics.com live-blogged the House floor debate), in part because of its potential chilling effect on videogame sellers - but also becausse the bill was written by an old nemesis, anti-videogame crusader and disbarred Florida lawyer Jack Thompson.
