Remember - in the United States, the government is not in a position to mandate a ratings system. GayStoryMan aptly points out that there is currently a ratings system, so inventing yet another one watses time, and would potentially infringe on our own rights in the process.

The film movie ratings that came about in the late sixties ... the MPAA ratings system ... is a product of the industry self regulation. That was a success because if your movie were rated X, then the movie theaters simply would not play, and no one would see it. In 1979 Caligula was going to be rated X, so Bob Guccione just did not have the movie rated, and then let movie theaters who were brave enough to show it. Today he could have made such a film, and released it online... and people wouldn't have to find a movie theater to see it.

Today the Internet has totally changed the way entertainment is delivered.
The court said that the solution lays in filtering software. That's the solution.

And that's the message that should be propogated.
