online games classification system can be built
“World of Warcraft” is the United States Blizzard Entertainment Co.,http://www.usffxiv.com/power-leveling.html, Ltd. developed by Ogilvy & Mather Networks Limited introduces copyright Shenzhou sale in China electronic games. “Warcraft” series of products because it contains a bloody, violent content is the U.S. game software Ratings Board as a “T” level, that is only suitable for children over 13 years of age and adults. Blizzard in its “World of Warcraft” website a prominent position at the bottom of the game interface is also marked by “T” logo, and indicate “bloody, suggestive themes, use of alcohol, violence,” a descriptive prompts. However, as China has yet to establish a complete game software management system, the game sales and operations in China, the above information has not been truthful disclosure.
2005 Nian 9 months, Zhang Chunliang by ZHANG Xiao-Yi’s parents authorized to “World of Warcraft” producer Blizzard Entertainment Limited and the introduction of the U.S. The game’s Shenzhou proceedings Ogilvy & Mather Networks Limited , requesting an order the defendant to the Chinese territory sales, operating the “Warcraft” game, in the packaging, instructions and game interface express their violent, bloody content and extent of, and compensate the defendant 100,000 yuan. This is the media as “the first online game v..” However, Zhang Chunliang of filing the request by the Tianjin Tanggu District Court to “insufficient evidence” as an excuse twice rejected.
Earlier this year, because of “Warcraft” Chinese agents in Beijing, Zhang Chunliang Su Zhi, Beijing Chaoyang District People’s Court. In June of this year, Beijing Chaoyang District People’s Court placed on file.
At the seminar, many scholars called for the establishment of a sound review and classification system for online games is a priority. It is understood that, in accordance with current rules, all listed sales of online games, went through a group of press and publication sector experts to examine the audit, but a lot of flaws. China Game Publishers Association Working Committee Secretary-General of Press and Publication Administration online game review panel members XIN Xiao Zheng introduced the game of network audit is in fact extremely simple, usually by three experts, holding the highest level of the game account and password into the game, do not understand the entire game process. Therefore, the audit be limited to the basic framework of the game’s hard, and they audit a very short time.
due to deficiencies in screening methods, the experts can not fully understand the game of hazard, causing some of the game contain objectionable by audit. During the operational process, when the game appeared out of danger, when there is no re-examination of experts have the power, and monitoring of the power referred to the publishing and distribution unit, that is, the hands of online games company, that is, athletes become the referee members, it is difficult to guarantee impartiality. At this point, the only regulatory powers on behalf of the public to enjoy is the news publication.
Press and Publication Administration web publishing audio and video electronics and Management Division, said Kou Xiaowei, deputy director of the current online games to strengthen the supervision of the difficulties, mainly the review of the game on the network standard is difficult to refine. Kou Xiaowei said that the current Press and Publication Administration is stepping up efforts to do this job, this detailed examination standards can be introduced is difficult to say at what time.
many parents of children trapped in addiction had called for press and publication department, in the hope the implementation of different ages online games hierarchical management system, which, Kou Xiaowei, Deputy Director believes that the current very difficult to implement, detailed review of the standard graded towards a very important step, there is no detailed review of standards for the blind said the classification is actually empty.
which rights protection laws for the victims of
At present, online games as a result of this tragedy, ZHANG Xiao-yi has been done, but the process of victims activist very elusive, and because it is difficult to find a law which expressly provided. Peking University Law School professor Liu Kai Xiang believes that online games are a cultural product, the network makes the game itself has the characteristics of addiction is a product defect. According to China’s “Product Quality Law” stipulates that a product manufacturer shall be responsible for the quality of their products, therefore, developers should bear product liability. However, to make a court in the direct assertion of the existence of an online game product quality defects and product quality judgments assume the responsibility of web developers, which is currently very difficult.
However, Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications Network De-Liang Liu, director of Legal Studies Center, believes that “Product Quality Law” provides products, mainly refers to processed, producing material products, does not apply to network products, as we can not charge A failure of this yellow, like the quality of the novel, we can not say that a substandard product quality and online games, at most can only say that the contents of the unhealthy.
In fact, as De-Liang Liu said, at present the relevant government departments on the management of network products are also from the network to carry out publishing the product, such as have been issued the “Interim Provisions on Internet Publishing Management\Provisional Regulations on Management \
Zhang Chunliang that under the “Consumer Rights Protection Law,” the spirit of independence to consumers should be one of the consumers should have the right, while the present law does not specify the consumer of this right, but its network of consumer rights protection has an important significance. ZHANG Xiao-Yi for suicidal behavior has been made a consulting network of the Beijing Military General Hospital, Tao Ran, director of Addiction Consulting Center confirmed that Internet addiction disorder will lead to patient’s understanding of disorders, and then mistakenly put the virtual world as the real world, and get a sense of achievement in which the and satisfaction.
According to China’s “Consumer Rights Protection Law” stipulates that the rights of consumers will have nine of them with only one related to the spirit, that consumers purchase and use goods and receive services, to enjoy their personality dignity and respect for the rights of ethnic customs and habits. Obviously, “Consumer Protection Act” and not the spirit of independence to consumers the right to clearly defined.
“If we had the” Consumer Protection Law “can be sure not to be misled consumers will have the right spirit, then I will win this case on the very big. “Zhang Chunliang said,” enacted in 1993, “Consumer Protection Law” could not have foreseen the situation to today’s online world, however, as the legal requirements of the times, “Consumer Protection Law” should also consider the this problem. “De-Liang Liu believes that there is no clear legal requirement, judicial practice, to protect consumers can follow the personal and property safety of the spirit, the spirit of autonomy to protect consumers.
juvenile who is going to save the online games
the seminar, many scholars have noted that the Chinese online game companies from tens of millions of young Web surfers who access the huge profits, but The resulting negative impact has turned a deaf ear to escape the share of social responsibility.
However, some scholars believe that all the blame should not be online games business. China University of Political Science Professor Liu Xin believes that a company is to conduct the business interests can not be right that he has the moral high expectations, the key is that the Government should carry out effective supervision of enterprises, and through the law to constrain their behavior.
schools, parents, government authorities should bear corresponding responsibility. ZHANG Xiao-Yi left tens of thousands of characters of the game notes, must have access to the game quite a long time, should the teacher that are not aware of? Schools have paid attention to the child’s unusual behavior, if noticed, is carried out effectively guide? 13-year-olds grow again even if the appearance of mature and will not be seen as a 18-year-old cafe operator in addition to his Internet access fees charged outside again what has been done? Internet cafe management of the country for strengthening efforts to restrict minors online repeated demands, a 13-year-old boy at the cafe a continuous 36-hour Internet access, Internet cafes in charge of departments of the Government done?
experts believe that, in the online games business, online games to consumers, the main interests of the community multi-game among the mutual entanglement, the Government seems absent, though present, in the prevention of online games for minors undue influence in , gaps in the law,ffxiv power leveling, but the law often lags behind, and balance the interests of all parties is always the Government can not shirk its responsibility. The face of an endless stream of indulging in online games caused the tragedy, even if not a dereliction of duty, at least morally, the Government also to blame.
