Now, I do see the negatives of porn, but this is really stupid. At best, it's another unenforceable law that will soon go the way of other stupid laws. At worst, it will create some stupid, costly bureaucracy to try to "rate" porn. I mean seriously, it's PORN! It already has a rating system-if you're 18+, you can watch it. Otherwise, no dice. I really don't see how a rating system will make porn any less easy to get, or easier for filtering software to block. I mean, if it's adult material, the software should block it, otherwise it shouldn't. As far as I can tell, it's a pretty binary operation. I don't see much demand for filters that will let people watch lesbian midget porn, but block out double amputee bondage sites. But I guess being in Alaska, you gotta do something to get noticed.
