PA Child Porn-Blocking Law Challenged, Suspended
An anonymous reader submits: "Pennsylvania's controversial child porn controls have been challenged in court, and in a surprising twist, suspended by the state. If you recall, PA required ISPs within the state to block access to sites hosting child porn. The list (which used IP addresses) is compiled solely by the State Attorney General's Office. The use of IPs resulted in the unnecessary snagging of other sites on the same hosting service. The plaintiffs are the ACLU, CDT, and a Doylestown PA ISP. The State AG, in an odd move, suspended the law and the list indefinitely. [Note: Philly.com appeared to suffer a DDoS earlier today. Please be kind to their admins.]"
Yes this was a very "controvertial" decison by Slashdot.
It sounds like you're trying to equate those other crimes with child pornography.
Society doesn't agree with you. Child Porn is a special case. It's so abhorent to mainstream society that special prohibitions are deemed appropriate.
You'd best deal with it. It's not going to change.
A Good Intro to NetBS
To suggest a search result to Google, create a link. In this case, create a link with "child porn" as the link text and goatse as the link target.
The shareholder is always right.
I'm sure this will result in great karma, but seriously...
FUCK THE RIAA!
She's 12! 12! AHHHH! WTF is this world comeing to!? If this girl got caught stealing CDs in her home town you know she wouldn't be fined anywhere near that much money. So this settlement is a load of crap, I just hope that their lawyer will see threw this crap and actualy try and fight it, because any reasionable judge would just give her the old "first timer" warning.
Trust me I got into some trouble as a kid, and I know how it goes. Besides, she's twelve, she's a minor, they can't toutch her.
(just for this I'm never buying a CD again!)
