Now, this is something that the USA could act on it's own to use and could potentially be expanded through negotiation and treaties with other countries. While that admittedly would be a very long process if it were attempted to do internationally the USA could easily get the ball rolling. This way the USA has a way to effectively deal with it in our country before trying to bring others on board. It's NOT a perfect soltuion but one that could be built to include many countries and could eventually make it easier

Remember ICRA? Every computer built has the capacity to recognize tags and block certain sites and it would be VERY easy to build a system requiring that website operators, no matter whether they be mainstream sites or adult orientated, be required to have a content rating that would allow the screening out of their sites based on sex, violence, language, and other factors. Sort of a V-chip for computers. I don't petend that the ratings would be very easy to agree on, but it could be done. No one here wants anyone who isn't an adult to be looking at their site. It's a waste of bandwidth. It also protects website operators from the censorship that many in the government and in the country would like to put in place. There would be penalites for not registering your site(s) and a review board to ensure people aren't doing stuff like registering nudebeachbabes.com and saying it contains no nudity., etc. It also places a burden on parents to actually take the initiave in monitoring their kids web use while maintaining adults ability to enjoy certain material on the net that the courts have determined they have a right to enjoy.

That's the basics but you get the gist of it. It places burdens on both camps while protecting the concerns of both as well. Admittedly there is a whole lot of foreign sites out there that bring up seperate issues that we can talk about but for now you get the gist of my idea.

Very valid point, and i agree. The main point here is for those of us who do things right and have busted ass doing it right and being profitable. It is not fair that because of some religious crazy peeps that more than likely are more obscene and more corrupt than the things we show on websites make our life miserable. Offshore is not for outlaws and breaking rules it is and option to maintain what you have built with the effort and money you have put in to. yes adults should be the only ones seeing adults hell i dont want no kid on my site for 2 reasons

1. most of them cant pay
2. it is just not right

however in a country where the effort to be free has twisted the law in such way that they can't even agree on how to create a law to protect without breaking the so called rights and when there is nothing else to do then let lawyers fight it out it is better to be safe and know that your income won't suffer.

treaties yes there are many treaties the advantage we have is that this country was already invaded by papa bush and trust me people don't like that idea too much yeah noriega is out but the price was too high lots of deaths trust me i saw it on a documentary and read the stories and asked people. so yeah we may deal with bush but it is not a kiss ass deal it will be something where bush wont be able to do much as far as flexing politic muscle.

internet is pretty safe down here from those acts. Again only for the legal fuck the ones that break the law and do kiddie porn and other shit.

my 2 cents
