Good post Paul, the supervision side of things is a bit contentious. If a crime has been committed by a minor who's to blame, who gets the punishment-penalty? A bad parent could do all sorts of illegal activity online and blame the child ect.
I can see the pirates going arrrrrgh!! over this, I see their point, but legally there is no point.
The country is full of inadequate parents, we also have some fairly sick individuals with no morals or self control.
Then there's fraud, phishers, bomb building sites ect
I'm undecided in many respects, but on the other hand as long as my rights as an individual are not affected....
Fact is some people need moral guidance, taking away certain temptation can only be a good thing.
I trust myself to do the right thing, you may also trust yourself...But can you trust everyone else?
