I fail to see how this is so as this seems in reference of liability in executing "COURT ORDERS."

However, what I see as objectionable is is the creation of an American Internet Firewall ostensibly as first to protect IP rights but more sinisterly creating the technology for censorship of other things, and of course, many people feel that Internet "hard core porn" is objectionable -- this creates the mechanism for its eradication.

Be careful of what you ask for -- you may just get it ...
