Pennsylvania Porn Law Blocks Too Much?

[Pale Blue Dot]

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A Washington nonprofit group was scheduled on Tuesday to argue against a Pennsylvania child-pornography law that has unintentionally cordoned off wide swaths of the Internet for users in and out of the state.

The arguments will be made before a federal judge in Philadelphia.

Among the 600,000 sites blocked are a community recreation center in Bradford County, Pennsylvania, a tribute to a Paraguayan soccer player, reviews of opera singer Alice Baker, and a vendor of "family edited" DVDs that have nudity and other content removed, the Center for Democracy and Technology said in a court filing.

1. Thank God --

-- that they're blocking opera reviews in Pennsylvania! Think how catastrophic it would be for children to be exposed to an opera review! I blush just to think about it.
