Default Re: Vivid says no to porn

All valid points Gonzo. Now, that said, what makes the internet any different than a bar or sex shop? All of those magazines and videos in the sex shops are covered under the 1st amendment, correct? Yes, 100%. But the owners have the burden to keep minors out? Correct? Yes, I am, 100% correct again. So, what makes the internet so unique that people can just throw anything they want on it and not have to worry about who sees it? What gives the net more rights than a sex shop? What gives soemone the right to allow anyone to waltz onto their site no matter what their age?

What I am proposing is actually LESS restictive and less of a burden on owners than what is in place in the brick and mortar world AND doesn't give parents an out as they would be responsible for using soemthing that would allow the ICRA or similar type tags to be read on their end.

While some people like to think politicians are dumb, they aren't. And they WILL find a way to make life miserable for the indutry eventually with soemthing that will stand the court challenges and I guarantee you it will be far less likeable that what I am talking about here. It will place a much higher burden on owners and let parents off the hook.
