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.]"
No more restriction for amish pr0n (that is, a film of a shirtless man talking about lunch on the phone with his wife)!!!!
free Adrain Lamo!
Yes this was a very "controvertial" decison by Slashdot.
to see a troll in action
Pennsylvania is actually a Commenwealth, not a State. Not that anyone pays attention or anything, but PA and VA (and probably a few others that I'm not thinking of at the moment) are not states...
Neuropol is gay.
OK. Some worthy slashdotter tell me why this doesn't work for the RIAA (philisophical rants about why music should be free aside).
.01 cents per song per 3 minutes of sharing that song (assuming the song is three minutes long). Not an entirely unreasonable price to pay. Could even payed by subscription to KaZaa which might pay the record companies, evil as their sorry asses are, monthly for the average number of RIAA copyrighted files on their service, thus distributing the cost of file-availability to all users.
Sharing a music file is roughly equivalent to playing it on the radio. You share it for awhile, and people download and listen to it. Downloading a file and saving it to your harddrive is just like recording it to tape -- come to think of it, I remember a time when I recorded all files from my computer to tape...
You don't AFAIK have to have a special license to play a song over the radio, you just have to pay a small fee whenever you play it.
Since a file being shared is shared for a finite amount of time, and an unlimited number of listeners can download that file with their computer, just like they would listen to or record it off their car stereo (and the majority of encoding-of-your-choice files out there are roughly the same quality).
So why not a flat fee of say
Anyone know why the RIAA hasn't thought of this? Anyone know anyone who's going to try the DJ argument in court?
no. i am sorry. i am not gay. therefor, i cannot be with you.
i suggest you should seek out the peronal ads in your local paper. i think men seekng men always post in those things.
Goatse is nothing. Have you seen Tubgirl? Don't!
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.

Seriously, don't. Tubgirl makes Mr. Goatse look like wholesome family entertainment.
Eat recycled food - it's good for the environment, and OK for you.

Wow, I should not post when knackered.
I just heard some sad news on talk radio - physicist and inventor of the hydrogen bomb Edward Teller was found dead in his Stanford, California home this morning. There weren't any more details. I'm sure everyone in the Slashdot community will miss him - even if you didn't enjoy his work, there's no denying that we should drop his invention on every Islamic country we can find. Truly an American icon.

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!)
