No.
If, by a ".porn TLD" you mean that porn would only be allowed withing that TLD, then, (aside from the practicial difficulties of attempting to police the entire 'net, and the difficulty of defining what is porn) you are restricting speech everywhere online except.porn.
That is, creating.kids.us does not in any way affect what may or may not be said anywhere else on the 'net, while creating.porn as the only place where porn is allowed does affect the rest of the 'net.
If a.porn TLD existed to make the rest of the net porn free (what else would be the point?) you are, in effect, saying to the porn makers "you can have your freedom of speech, as long as you stay in this little corner." Now, for a.porn like this to work, not only would porn have to be banned outside of.porn, but so would linking to porn from non-.porn sites (otherwise what's to stop me buying porn.com and putting links to lots of porn sites, or a redirector to a porn site?) So you would be saying to the porn makers "yes, you can have your free speech, as long as you stay within your little corner. Oh, and you can't tell anyone who isn't in your little corner that you're there. And nor can anyone else."
Quite simply, a.porn would restrict what I could say on my (non-.porn) website whether I like it or not, but.kids.us has no on me unless I chose to put my site within it. Thus.porn would restrict freedom of speech but.kids.us doesn't.
There's no prerequisite for one to reside, or operate one's business from the United States in order to have a.us address
Ummm, no. From nustar's FAQ, Who can register a.US domain name?
Any U.S. citizen or resident, as well as any business or organization, including federal, state, and local government with a bona fide presence in the United States can register a.US domain name.
One of the following eligibility requirements must be met:
A natural person (i) who is a citizen or permanent resident of the United States of America or any of its possessions or territories or (ii) whose primary place of domicile is in the United States of America or any of its possessions, or
Any entity or organization that is incorporated within one of the fifty (50) U.S. states, the District of Columbia, or any of the United States possessions or territories or (ii) organized or otherwise constituted under the laws of a state of the United States of America, the District of Columbia, or any of its possessions or territories, or
An entity or organization (including federal, state, or local government of the United States, or a political subdivision thereof) that has a bona fide presence in the United States. See Section B.3.1 of the NeuStar proposal to the Department of Commerce for details concerning what constitutes a "bona fide presence."
And there you have it, a prerequisite that you must be in the US to register a.us domain, and I assume that would apply to.kids.us as well.
If you chose to have a.kids.us domain for your site, you chose to accept the restrictions on what may be placed on that site. This is not stopping sites for kids from being outside.kids.us. Rather like, if you chose to go into a crowded theatre, while in there your freedom of speech is limited in that you cannot shout "fire!" whilst in the theatre.

If you had looked at PGP's website, you would know that there is a freeware version of PGP 8 available for download, for non-commercial use.
There's Ironbridge Gorge if you like historical engineering stuff - it's name comes from the cast iron beridge that was built across the gorge in 1779. It was where modern iron-working was developed.
In London, there's the Thames barrier - a major part of London's flood defences, the Science Museum, the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, the spot that longitude is measured from and where the worlds timezones are based on (any pedants who want to reply to this pointing outthat an average of a collection of atomic clocks throughout the world is now used will get slapped and told to bugger off and stop being such an annoying pedantic twat...) There's also London Open House, which is more of an architecture thing really, and is mostly only for one weekend a year, but they do have events all year round.
I'd like to know how the New York subway manages to run 24 hours a day, when London Underground claim it's impossible!
Because it is impossible for LU, but not for NY Subway. Any railway needs regular maintainence work, and the trains cannot be running while the work is being done. The NY subway has two tunnels in each direction, and so can shut one for maintainence and keep the other running, thus making 24hr operation possible, whereas the LU only has one tunnel each way. London Underground's website does explain this in their FAQs. Whenever I have got the last (or almost last) tube home at night, I've seen groups of workmen waiting at many stations along the line, presumably to do work on the track/signals/whatever once the last train of the night has gone through.
Why do so many people get this wrong?
It is not illegal to sell goods in imperial measures. All goods sold by weight, volume or size must be priced in metric (with the exception of draught beer and cider, and milk if it is in a returnable container), but they may also be priced in imperial if the retailer wants to.
Temperature - 0 at absolute zero, 1 at the triple-point of hydrogen. I think a third point is needed to calibrate a thermometer properly, but I'm not sure.
Charge - the charge on one electron shall be minus one unit (I think it's a better base unit that current, so:-P)

Wrong. You did, and still do, have the right to do anything not prohibited by law. Our laws do not say "you are allowed to do U, V, and W," they say "you are not allowed to do X, Y and Z." (U, V, W, X, y and Z being things that you can or cannot do.) I don't need a law to say I can post on slashdot (for example) - the fact that no law says I can't means I can. (And, for the pedants in the audience, I mean in general, I know there are some things the law says I can't say - incitement to racial harted is an offence, as is saying I could get you illegal drugs [counts as intent to supply, iirc] - to give two examples.)
See this page for info about the Beeb's ogg streaming. I looks like they stream a few programmes regularly, here's hoping they can get more available (so that you non-Brits can experiance Radio 4:-)
This has nothign to do with copyrights. It is about trademarks. Two quite different things. While individual words canot be copyrighted, they can be tradmarks, and the same word can be tradmarked more than once, in different contexts. For example, there are 48 US trademarks on the word apple.
Doesn't "I can't play DVDs legally on my Linux box" go under that convenience category?
I think it could also come under "inhibiting the marketplace", as the DVD CCA can currently control who enters the marketplace producing DVD players, by chosing who it gives CSS licences to.

It isn't requiring you to agree to the GPL in order to use the software, it's only if you want a copy of the source. And as the only thing that entitles you to a copy of the source is the GPL, I see no reason why they cannot require your acceptance of it before giving you access to the source.
