  • The United States Family Entertainment Protection Act (FEPA) was a failed bill introduced by Senator Hillary Clinton (D-NY), and co-sponsored by Senators Joe Lieberman (D-CT), Tim Johnson (D-SD) and Evan Bayh (D-IN) on November 29, 2005. The bill called for a federal mandate enforcement of the Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) ratings system for video games in order to protect children from inappropriate content. The FEPA would have imposed fines of US$1000 or 100 hours of community service for a first time offense of selling a "Mature" or "Adult-Only" rated video game to a minor, and $5000 or 500 hours for each subsequent offense. The bill also called for a FTC investigation into the ESRB to ascertain whether they have been properly rating games. Similar bills have been passed in some U.S. states such as California, Michigan and Illinois, but were ruled to be unconstitutional in Brown v. Entertainment Merchants Ass'n, 564 U.S. 08–1448 (2011). This bill did not become law; it was referred to the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation and expired at the end of the 109th Congress without further action. (en)
  • Family Entertainment Protection Act (FEPA) - ustawa Stanów Zjednoczonych zaproponowana 29 listopada 2005 przez senator Hillary Clinton i wspierana przez Joe Liebermana, Tima Johnsona i Evana Bayha. Ustawa ma na celu wymuszenie przestrzegania ocen systemu Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) w celu ochrony dzieci przed niewłaściwymi treściami. Akt ma ustalić karę 1000 dolarów lub stu godzin prac społecznych za sprzedaż gry oznaczonej jako "Mature" (17+) lub "Adult-Only" (18+) niepełnoletnim, i 5000 lub 500 dolarów za każde kolejne wykroczenie. Ustawa umożliwiłaby też Federal Trade Commission na prowadzenie śledztw dotyczących poprawności przyznawania ocen przez ESRB. Podobne ustawy zostały złożone w innych stanach USA (np. Michigan i Illinois), lecz zostały odrzucone jako niezgodne z Konstytucją Stanów Zjednoczonych. (pl)
  • Family Entertainment Protection Act (FEPA) var ett lagförslag som lades fram av senator Hillary Clinton (D-NY), med stöd av Joe Lieberman (D-CT), Tim Johnson (D-SD) och Evan Bayh (D-IN) den 29 november 2005. Lagförslaget var ett rop på skärpt federal kontroll av ESRB:s åldersgränser för dator- och TV-spel. Lagförslaget gick ut på att böter på 1 000 amerikanska dollar eller 100 timmars samhällstjänst skulle kunna bli straffet för som för första sålde spel med "moget innehåll" eller ansågs vara "endast för vuxna" till minderåriga, och 5 000 amerikanska dollar i böter eller 500 timmars samhällstjänst för upprepad förseelse. Lagförslaget klubbades aldrig igenom. men liknande lagförslag antogs i delstater som Kalifornien, Michigan och Illinois. De förklarades dock senare strida mot USA:s konstitution. (sv)
