Just a thought... Is it really that Paramount wanted to make money ? If it were so, they could've simply pulled another Wild Wild West or an extremely cut version of this film and give it to the masses as a PG13 movie. That is where the money is nowadays, not the rated R movies.
As a side note, I've never seen our movie theatre put a sign about a required I.D. for an R-rated movie up. After the first screening (or that is what I think), they did, however.
But what is this going to help in the US-Debacle ? I hope the govt gets a clue some time soon. It would be really nice to legally use the 128bit Netscape (flame me if you hate it, but I really don't like transferring personal stuff over 40 bits;-)
Any news whether the Echelon people complained already ?
Another ISP hopping on the train of illogical conclusions drawn from the need to rectify itself in front of a possible law enforcement activity (wasn't that ISP blocked by many so-called 'filtering (!) firewalls' some time ago ?).
We all know this is business as usual. Nothing lost, nothing gained. This happens all the time, be it in a school-environment (do you know how much some operators read ? Shameful.) or on the 'free' internet (see also : WebSense, CyberSitter, Libraries, or simply AOL:-/ ).

My 2 cents, probably worth a lot less.
