I don’t know whether to laugh or cry. Serves the Flynt wanna-bes right, but it’s just making porn that much more easy, free and enormously widely distributed... and easier to access for children.

It's up to parents to restrict the access. Keep the computer in the kitchen or family room!

I didn’t know that.

Great post. Go to hear you can have a band, copyright your music to protect it, and then promote your music on the net.

The bigger music distributors would simply take other people’s songs, give it to a band to record, and reap the profits knowing the smaller artist didn’t have the resources to sue.

It's up to parents to restrict the access.

Of course, but my point is that it'll make it harder even for the latchkey kids and products permissive parenting. Anything that restricts or eliminates porn is good in my opinion, regardless of whose responsibility it is ultimately. I've changed a lot since becoming a parent.

Its off subject but what we do is in the sport fishing industry and at the national level it has been controlled by a few “Giants” In order to participate on the national(Walmart etc...)level you basically have to bribe your way in. With the Internet we bypassed everybody and make a great living selling direct to stores and through e-commerce. I love the net!

Both my daughters keep the 'puter in the family room. Seems to work for them. Of course they watch the rest of the world for dangers, as well.

Look for many bankruptcies of production companies headquartered in Chatsworth and Canoga Park.

Besides, we now have Brazilian and Ukranian starlets blanking-the-rooster that American porn stars refuse to do...

Sort of reminds me of a story I heard about Cape Canaveral, FL in the 60s when the Cape was just getting underway. Several times houses of ill repute had tried to open and make a go of it and failed miserable. Too much free stuff running around.
