Objection to proposal

[Colin Richmond <crichmond@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

To all Concerned,
Again I am voicing my Objection to this proposal, the same as I did last 
year when this idea was mooted.

As an adult and also a parent, I can see the need to protect children 
and minors from the traps of the Internet. Having said that, I hold very 
firmly on the idea that censorship begins at home and is the 
responsibility of the parent and/or guardian of the children and minors 
who use the internet, and not up to someone or some company to control 
what can be seen or accessed by the worldwide adult community, without 
having to pay extra fees, which is what will happen should this 
ridiculous piece of legislation go through.
All that will happen, is that if this is passed, is one company will 
have the right to charge any fee they like, to adult internet sites, to 
have access to the internet at an Adult level, as in the XXX address 
tag. The fees then would have to be passed on to all Adult users wanting 
to use/view Adult sites.

It's all about money and who controls what. Very much the same as Drug 
Lords and the Mafia, right?.

Let us hope that this proposal is again rejected.
