Hi Carlo, As I read it, the general fear in many cases like this is that when given an inch people take a mile. Folk are concerned that later on it's scope could be broadened to other areas deemed unsavory by the regulators. One of history's lessons already learned by now I would have thought. No thanks little brother. I don't know how to stop child porn but I doubt if this does the job.
