Have you seen the movie 1984? if not, you should. It may not be so far fetched any longer. Add Brazil to that short list also.
Our Government isn't protecting us, it is protecting itself from us. A truelly open and free society would render them almost un-needed. Wouldn't that be nice.
If you sterilize childrens websites to the extent that legislation may mandate, then marketing would be impossible. Then, what would be the point of having the website? Personally, my children were raised with the web and taught to use it properly from a young age. Yes, I still have to clean up thier laptops occasionally but, they're learning, more and faster than I did. Parents!, police your own children and don't allow legislation that will hinder others. If you're afraid of the web, then keep YOUR kids off of it. (my kids are 19 and 24 yrs. old at this comment)
Anonymous Coward fits you nicely. My daughter is a photographer, I wonder how her education would be stunted and her abilities stifled because of cowards who think the very same way you do?

Anyone posting on these pages, who would pay $250 for Win 7 Pro OS, doesn't know what they're talking about. I paid $139 (OEM). I'll not knock MAC, it is a fantastic OS. Linux is as well. They all have thier weaknesses and strengths. I hope to build my next Linux system shortly (one of many).
With that said, I am quite sure Win OS piracy is rampant in China, for it's gaming value alone. Gaming was my primary reason for purchasing Windows, I'm am quite satisfied with it in any case.
