By a 7-2 vote, the high court upheld a ruling by an appeals court that declared the law, which also imposes strict video-game labeling requirements, unconstitutional. The 2005 law which would have barred the sales of video games with violent imagery to minors was challenged by the Entertainment Software Association. Its members include Disney, EA, Microsoft and Sony.
