Reply #42: I agree that regulation of content is generally foolish,

certainly in respect to tv and radio, and as there's ample opportunity for the public to address proposals for restrictions, we do that. (Janet Jackson comes to mind.)

As to similar restrictions over the internet, thats a different matter, which is why its resonable to think about similar rules for the internet. Originally, there was in fact limited physical access, for tv and radio, so rules re: such were a reasonable thing, in the public interest. Now that 'access' is significantly less restricted, we should adapt to the new world.
