I agree that it should be legal, but shouldnt there be some sort of regulation here, sadly there isnt any, even voluntarily. Also just to help me update my research on user uploaded nude content can you cite me some legal cases I can reference please, thanks.

I personally think mandatory labeling would help legitimize our industry, actually having one of those tags on the front would be a selling point, look at what labeling did for the CD market.

I dont buy that slippery slope analogy. Libraries probably should be exempt from this bill but the government does control them so it is their perogative. Its not like there are plenty of private areas to get information(book stores,internet) libraries these days are quite irrelevent.
You never told me your stance on banning social networks at schools?
BTW thanks for a normal decent conversation about this subject.
