    That's right: Google won't even scan any book copyright holders ask them not to, even though doing so is perfectly legal. It's as if copyright holders got to dictate what books get placed in libraries. Their short-sighted selfishness will cost us all, depriving us of our heritage in our online Library of Alexandria.

    Are you for real?

    If you really want to hear Howard Stern, the government/FCC isn't stopping you. They just make sure your kids don't hear it too, unless you provide access for them.

    you are kidding right?? Because kids don't have access to his digital broadcast, but only his analogue over fm radio?? Not quite. I'm fairly certain that kids have access to anything they want to have access to. It's up to you(/us) the parent(s) to explain to them what he is doing and why is not acceptable behaviour for everyday life..

    I don't know if you have kids, but if you do, you should care about them enough to protect them from things like pornography, vulgar movies, or dirty talk shows. It affects them more than you realize.

    I completely agree. Although you are slightly confused. No way in hell should parenting be the responsibility of the FCC. It should be the responsibility of the parents. And beyond that... how is poorly hiding it on a different channel or later at night protecting them? Do you really think you are going to find a content filter that will block out all porn on the internet? Without blocking all of the open information that makes the internet so ridiculously useful?
    it is great that the FCC can pigeon hole material so parents don't have to listen to everything before knowing what it is.. But there should be some responsibility to know what the children are actually exposed to and make sure they understand what is really going on.
    I'm sure the argument of how to parent your children has been beaten to death and I don't want to argue that here.. I just want to clarify that the FCC should not be used to parent children but instead as a handy reference for parents to use before making decisions on what to expose their children to and how to do it... simply allowing the FCC to charge more for a broadcast that is classified as adult is not enough.. we all know children can still access the material.
