doing nothing doesn't change anything
setting a bad precedent makes things WORSE.
if you thought before you acted, you would make the case only winable, or your would minimize the downside if you lost.

Porn existed long before the Internet and for those in it was much more profitable. Porn outside the Internet exists in a world where it's censored. So why does censoring the Internet mean the end of porn?
the internet is just a medium, roger is taking about changing free speech to a level that you can censor porn on a medium, guess what that change would exist across all mediums. Hell it would be anti competitive if it did not.

that why such a change would be bad paul.

i would like you to start thinking before you post.
maybe you should take your own advice, then you would realize that changing the laws/rules to allow the censorship on one medium, is going to effect all mediums.
