The legislation isn't really out of date. The legislation that covers game ratings were put in place in the last 10-20 years. The problem is, that the legislation put in place was out of touch with reality from the beginning.
Has anyone read the legislation? It isn't out-of-date or out-of-touch at all. Its merely broadly worded, like most legislation. The problem doesn't lie in how the legislation has been constructed, the tax code for example gives the tax department some truly frightening powers but the department tends to eschew using them. The issue lies more in how that powers that have been granted the committee have been used. They haven't been abused per say, but the members have opted towards using them with far more abandon than most other government bodies.
