But let me ask you this...do you have a T.V.? If so, do you have cable? If so, then is it the government's responsibility to determine what programs you are allowed to watch or not watch?

Of course I don't believe the government should tell me what to watch or not watch. I also believe that if I tell the cable company that I do not want Playboy piped into my house, they should not continue piping it in. That is what Roberts' firm and Playboy where trying to protect -- the ability to continue piping porn into my home against my will.

WRONG! The case was about digitally covering up the "naughty bits".

And you can delete any station you don't want coming into your house, via your own T.V.!

I have cable. There are plenty of stations I get, but never watch. There are also plenty of station that I don't get, because I don't pay for them. And I just looked at the sheet I have for stations and the Playboy station is PAY PER VIEW, so it isn't even piped into my set, if I had taken the highest paid for subscription; it above and beyond that!

So all of your harrumphing is beyond silly.

As a customer, if the cable company is not meeting your requirements, you are free to simply dicontinue the service. Playboy never had the ability to pipe porn into anyone's house against their will.

The solution here was not to demand an increase in governmental powers.

Last I checked, Comcast doesn't send the Playboy Channel into your home unless you are willing to pay for it first.
