    It shouldn’t be narrowly focused on just video games. Should simply be anything digital.

      Babysteps? Maybe if it is about video games, the old people won’t know enough about it and pass it, which would make it easier to expand to any digital software.

        Unlikely. We ended up here because of corporations lobbying the government to prevent bills like this from becoming laws and to allow them to set up the system the way they wanted it because it benefits them.

        The old people are in their pockets and the most susceptible to their schemes to prevent changes in the status quo because it makes them money.

        This is an attempt to sway people to vote for him in an election year.

      Scoped in a way to get press and hopefully positive attention before voting starts in a week or so.

      Agreed, but if passed it would set a significant precedent that would surely have to flow onto all/other digital media.
