I will use my examples from the motion picture industry, but this all applies to music, games, etc., et al.

The largest consumer of most action/adventure movies are teens and preteens. The bill requires that you must lable these as being too violent for teens and preteens and then enforce their non-attendance of this film, thereby destroying your audiance. This is not control of the media, you say? Sure. This is not censorship? Sure, sure.

...and enable parents to effectively control what their kids listen to. If anything, it gives more power to the people, forgive the corny phrase, rather than takes freedom away...

I need a rating system to decide if "Death Squad from Hell MCXIV" is something I want my kids to see? The rating system will somehow enable me? And what if I did want my child, for whatever reason, to see it?

...It doesn't say 'if you get this and this rating, you can't sell it here there and there.' It says 'you have to label your product with it's rating in a clear manner...

Thereby allowing it to be shown anywhere and viewed by no one in it's target audiance. Thereby making it not worth making in the first place, Thereby censoring by forcing the industry to not create something without legally forcing them not to. Which is still censorship. Did IQs suddenly go down while I was away?"
