Retailers who sell violent video games and 18-rated DVDs to children cannot be prosecuted because of a legal blunder 25 years ago.
Dozens of prosecutions under a 1984 Act have been dropped because the government of the day failed to notify the European Commission about the law.
But previous prosecutions will stand, according to the Department for Culture Media and Sport (DCMS).
The Lib Dems said the error had "thrown film censorship into chaos".
The Video Regulations Act (VRA) was brought in by Margaret Thatcher's government and set down that videos and video games must be classified and age rated by the British Board of Film Classification.
It made it illegal to sell violent video games to children and the most explicit adult films could be sold only in licensed sex shops

So, shall we start selling adult games and dvd's to kids to make some money to fund Digiex while its legal to do so?
Kids seem to want Manhunt and GTA and we can offer them legally for sale!
