On the recordOctober 7, 1998
As I read this, I do not believe filtering equipment would be a complete affirmative defense, as I read the line about affirmative defenses. But I then had a question. It says material that is harmful to minors, and I gather in a picture or text that would be describing sex and would appeal to prurient interests. A question would be if a commercial entity took the Starr report, which was not copyrighted, and put it out on the web as part of their business-making enterprise, would a commercial business that put the Starr report out on the web and did not restrict it with filtering information, would that commercial enterprise be subject to a penalty under this bill?
