Interesting coming from you ... you're a porn merchant who is utilizing the
"voluntary content rating" systems of Surf Watch, CyberSitter and Net Nanny.
I wonder what the benefit of supporting those voluntary standards (which
just keep users out of your webspace -- no real benefit to you) ... there's
no real cost associated in not supporting them. Hmmm... sounds like a
"none/none" approach that you sill chose to support.
It could be that you see the overall value of such a standard and therefore
are supporting it. Or perhaps you just think it will save you from a lawsuit
if a Tennesse police officer decides to charge you on distributing porn to
minors.
