Gald that someone saw this.. maybe not a conspiracy but the reality is how
do you prove the "Truth in Domain Names" ?

How do you substancally argue that someone used a any name for a web site
name to 'trick minors' into visiting pornographic materials?

If a minor gets to an adult site there are warnings... of which children
will sort out this sort of thing on there own accord anyway, no tricks just
kids being kids.

No compensation for good parental supervision or lockout programs for kids
to surf the net.

It will not substantially protect this happening.. it does not mean that it
will stop or can be protected against when its an after the fact
occourance.. It was simply made the public aware of certain practices to
ensure that people look after there names when minors are involved.

It will be interesting to see how long it takes someone to sue under this
and actually win.

Educate not legislate.

Michael-Pappas.
