Abstract
Defining Speech in an Entertainment Age: The Case of First Amendment Protection for Video Games, argues that in a media society producing ever increasing amounts of entertainment the courts must closely examine the types of entertainment that qualify as protected speech under the First Amendment. In laying out a theory of what type of expressions warrant constitutional status, the article focuses on the examples provided by recent case law concerning violent video games.
