Here is a quote:
"In this field office in Washington, 32 prosecutors, investigators and a handful of FBI agents are spending millions of dollars to bring anti-obscenity cases to courthouses across the country for the first time in 10 years. Nothing is off limits, they warn, even soft-core cable programs such as HBO's long-running Real Sex or the adult movies widely offered in guestrooms of major hotel chains."
Also 2257... They expect us webmasters to actually hold a copy of legal docs and drivers licenses of every model on every single one of our pages and banners and those records need to be available for inspection during regular bus hours. Seems like they want to get rid of porn to me and drive as much folks out of the biz as possible.

The 2257 I agree with, this may be a poor analogy, but its like not forcing the bar to ID people.. or be able to prove that everyon the in bar is of age... This shouldnt stop legimate businesses. It may run some copyright infringers out but isn't that a good thing?
And the obscenity thing from the sounds of it they are trying to keep porn out of the hands of children or people that dont want it thrown at them...
I don't disagree that it might be going a bit overboard... but i also dont disagree that obsenity has gone overboard.. with jj tit slip on tv... what if you have a 8yr old boy watching that? He is supposed to seperate proper behavior from that.. Say he likes Justin Timberlake and wants to be like him? He may find it cool to go to school the next day and rip clothes of hes girl friends at school.
Or what about the Britney/Madona episode many young girls who idolized britney now think its cool to be a lesbian.
