ALL porn/smut should have a .SEX extension so it would be easy to block.

There are over a hundred other top level domains that aren't under the control of the U.S. courts. But then you get to try to define porn/smut. Can a granny who doesn't like this picture or this one complain? I think they're hot, they appeal to my "purient interests." Maybe she doesn't think it's artistic so it's not protected. But what about others who think Playboy is artistic? How about the myriad artistic B/W nude photos out there? An exception for art in a bad law is stupid. The last thing we want is the government defining what is art.

The idea of applying community standards to something not tied to any one community is rediculous. The idea of applying to the Internet the standards of some stuck up old hag who hasn't been laid in 40 years is rediculous.

Good point. What community gets to judge porn produced in Los Angeles, stored on a server in Nebraska and sold to somebody in Alabama?
