EXCERPT:
"The U.S. House of Representatives on Thursday overwhelmingly approved legislation imposing sharply higher fines on television and radio broadcasters who violate indecency limits...a top government official and several lawmakers also questioned whether the bills violate free speech rights.

The House bill, approved 391-22, would give the Federal Communications Commission (news - web sites) the authority to fine broadcasters as much as $500,000 per violation and apply large penalties against on-air personalities who willfully break the rules."


Does it affect the adult internet biz at all? Does running a website qualify as "broadcasting"?

Anyone?

it's only a matter of time before they come after us i guess...hope not though

What surprised me was the size of the fine and the wide margin by which it passed (391 to 22!? WTF?) and the size of the fine.

$500K is a lot of cash just for saying a curse word on the radio. I mean, what would the fine be for bangbus.com?

id say, look at it this way.

Colin Powell son influences the FCC.

Who you think they coming after next?

i guess we can throw out the constitution........does the 1st amendment mean anything anymore?

Yeah, but what about Ashhahahahaha? If this thing passes, could it be used to target adult site operators?
