Arizona Gaming Bill Concerns Developers

| 7 Apr 2008 23:23

Arizona House Bill 2660 recently passed by a significant margin in the Arizona House of Representatives and is on its way to the State Senate. The bill has raised concern among developers due to the wording of the bill:

A. A person is liable for damages if the person produces, publishes or distributes written, audio, video or digital material and all of the following apply:

  • The material is dangerous or obscene.
  • The person benefited from the production, publishing or distribution of the material.
  • The person knew, should have known or recklessly disregarded a significant risk that the material would substantially assist, encourage or result in another person committing terrorism or a felony offense.
  • The material was a cause in another person committing terrorism or a felony offense against a victim.

There is much worrisome language in this bill and the potential for abuse is huge. After all, who would decide what is "dangerous" or "obscene"? Let us know your thoughts on the forums.
