    This makes me wonder whether this could actually benefit indie and small artists in the long run by helping their music reach the ears of the big record companies early on so that they can have their big break.

    "big break" is mostly about being or becoming a product flavor of the month.

    One thing at a time:

    seeing explicit sexual behaviour...leads to loss of a mesure of innocence...because they can't handle it.

    What causes loss of innocence in explicit sexual behaviour, what can't they handle?

    ok so kids are more or less immature depending on their age, this is the definition of kids...

    (Now what do you mean "cannot deal with" explicit sex?)

    (What are the theoretical results of exposure to material that is beyound the grasp or interests of children of a certain age?)

    When a child asks what where they doing after mistakenly seeing explicit sex for a few secounds before you grabbed the remote and switched the station: what are the plain english answers for a 3/6/9/12 year old? Is this the problem.

    A 9-year old isn't mature enough to deal with explicit sex, because 9-year olds are by and large immature

    circular argument: kids aren't mature because there immature

    what do you mean "cannot deal with" explicit sex, what are the theoretical results of exposure to material that is beyound the grasp or interests of children of a certain age.

    Because of emotional persistance, not logical, just the way we are wired.

    Repeated stimulation (pro god comment) without reacting will eventually result in the loss of "you stupid" reflex.

    Some people find it stimulating, and some people find it revolting, but no one ever found it boring except through constant exposure.

    I'm talking about children, a six year old for example, seeing a porn site while surfing the net, they would find it neither stimulating nor revolting, uninteresting probably but not revolting unless already primed in the art of righteousness.

    Ahem...have you actually seen goatse.cx? I've seen brain surgery on cable before...I don't think you can compare the two.

    Yes I did see goatse.cx, at 41, and i know what you mean, personnally the experience of surgery at 9 years old was worse.

    I have a difficult time envisioning a scenario where a parent who gives a damn about his kid would find allowing a 9-year old to watch hard-core porn to be a positive for his or her child's development.

    I agree, also: I have difficulty envisioning a child falling on hardcore porn by mistake as negative to the child's development, unless the parent, at a loss or righteous, gets emotional and leaves the child with the impression that they caused the adults discomfort.

    Hell, I have a difficult time envisioning any age where seeing goatse.cx could be construed as healthy. I'm 27, and I'm still emotionally scarred from that hidden link...

    I was shocked at 9 years old when i fell on open heart surgery, your intellectual motor generates emotional feedback, not always a pleasant experience.

    There is HARDCORE shit out there

    Are you referring to pictures of starving children, the iron curtain between the us and mexico, the death penalty?

    Illegal material should be dealt with at the source as existing laws provide.

    The possibility of falling on illegal content should be addressed but not through censoring software: below a certain age restrictive surfing where only friendly sites can be accessed...and supervision.

    a 21-year old may not be appropriate for a 14-year old...

    The only "not appropriate" is teaching beyond the childs abilities to understand, if a child is exposed to information that he cannot assimilate then it is ignored, if he is exposed to information he cannot assimilate and is dowsed in fear, prejudice, badness etc etc he will hold a general picture of the unassimilated info surrounded by emotional pain/curiosity/guilt etc etc

    Seeing naked people doing it is never inappropriate at any age, possibly boring but not wrong; its the authority figures emotional state in relation to "the situation at hand" that can cause structural damage later in the childs growing up.
