TopicI think I bought an illegal game...

I went to my local hobby media shop the other day to browse and ended up purchasing The Guy Game on PlayStation 2. I knew it had some kind of controversy, but I didn't look it up fully until I had already bought it and took it home. I thought it would be one of those simple recall games that they stopped producing copies of as soon as the controversy broke out, but I think it's actually illegal to buy, sell, and/or own. But maybe it's one of those "gray areas" where it was only illegal to sell NEW copies and it's ok to buy and trade used. I couldn't find definitive, plain language proof that it's actually classified as an illegal item, just that it was at the center of a lawsuit and it was "banned' which is kind of vague.

To be brief and rule compliant, it was found out after the game was produced that the game features uncensored footage of a minor participating in the game when she shouldn't have. To be fair, she lied on the consent form with the use of a fake ID so it's not like the legal team didn't do all they could with the forms and process they had on location when they were filming all the scenes for the game.

Anyone want to weigh in on this?
