I don’t agree. By holding the producers of God knows what responsible for the abuses of the users/customers we are in effect banning it.

We’d be holding them financially liable where/if it could be proved that their product — which is intensely violent and is designed to be viewed intensely — had created a violent outburst in a disturbed person. Sorry, but if there’s that kind of cause and effect, and a strong element of foreseeability — i.e., that disturbed minds could be impacted negatively — the product’s producer should be liable for the results.

If this is how you would like to handle things, then I would move that we hold record companies responsible for all of the violence that has occurred through the glorification of thug life.
