So one must expect to be the BPjM: they are fast. It is barely 10 clock in the morning and I already have an answer to my second Mail that looked like this:
Dear XXX,
thanks for the quick reply, but it did not help me. The legislation is known to me and I needed no further information on the progress of the indexing process, I question its meaning. You ignore my question why we have any need for further testing by the BPjM, if the shares are mandatory but the PSP.
very irritated me also this section: "is
Distribution and application of indexed games to minors, thus in comparison to" Platinum 18 "games have significantly reduced violations criminal penalties From this.. already derived from a serious effect difference. "
If I understand this correctly, you warrant to index only by the fact that it exists. This can not be serious be!
All I want from you is a clear answer to this question:
What point is there to distinguish between "Platinum 18" titles and "harmful to minors" games when eh both varieties may not be sold to minors?
Why are not games that are classified as "harmful to minors," not simply provided with a "Platinum 18" seal and made public? To follow the law may not be acquired by these young people and thus would be the protection of minors taken. And since young people see in this case, only the packaging of a game, one can hardly expect that this will have serious consequences.
I hope that this time I have expressed more clearly and answer my questions.
mfg Konrad Huber
And here's the answer:
Dear Mr. Huber,
the youth media protection is based on the assumption that can be generated by media damage or threats to the development of children and adolescents.
At the level of youth effect, the legislature in the film and gaming was introduced, the system of regulated self-regulation, a combination of voluntary self-regulation USK / FSK and Supreme Landesjugendbehörden.Der sense of the indexing method results, as I have in the last e-mail have tried to show them that the security terms of harmful media by the legislature in relation to youth impairing content should still be intense. This is based on a forecast of increased risk of obscene content. § 18 para 1 JuSchG describes to what content is it at that.
goal is to make youth-endangering media completely disappear from view of minors and the packaging for one just like the advertising. The young people will at best do not even know that there is this media. That this in the Internet age is clearly not fully succeed, but you must remember that They appear to emanate from interested young people already on the indexed content, while the majority of young people who really nothing of the indexed content will notice. At the same findings of the Hans Bredow Institute at the University of Hamburg, has carried out a scientific evaluation of the youth media protection in Germany. If you know this development should not, here is the link:
http://www.hans-bredow-institut.de/webfm_send/104
It states on page 36 for explanation of the meaning of the indexing process:
"Certain products suitable only for adults (aged 18 years or released products, which are marked has been refused) are in the trade from freely available and can be practically applied without restrictions and can therefore in principle for children and young people, despite their harmful content as products perceptible, cover, title pages, scene pictures and screenshots, as well as editorial coverage of these products get attention in the circle of minors. The legal concept is, therefore, that transport media content that affects the development of children and young people, not just at risk can be incorporated after publication of the BPjM in the list of harmful media (so-called "index").
goal is to not only inaccessible to minors, but also "invisible" to make, this is done through extensive sales, delivery and exhibition limitations and by a broad advertising ban.
That, at least explain. "Hazardous Youth" media is "dangerous" and must therefore be kept away from minors better than those who were "only" have a Ab18 marking.
Does that make sense? Even if we follow the assumption of the author, that minors are interested not so much for indexed games as I think it's responsible for this material to hide from them? For the is indeed the intention here ". The young people will at best do not even know that there is this media
It's definitely a statement that one should keep in mind.
