Your opinion, and entitled to it, however it is also your choice to
participate. Or to allow those you are responsible for knowing whether they
should participate.

I think Lego was right in making a statement, however I think legal action
could have been avoided by talking with the site manager. Is this bad
taste? Probably. Shouldn't have been done? Maybe. Innapropriate? Sure.
But so is South Park. As long as it has no real connection to Lego (can't
see the word "Lego" or uses no bonafide Lego image; both are trademark
infringments) I've got no problem with it.

Bill of Rights, free speach. Is not our highest law not good enough for you?
Now in Denmark they don't have that, but in the US, another story.

And it's your responsiblity to push the button to download. Just because a
loaded gun lies in the road doesn't mean you have to shoot yourself.
Honestly if you see a link to a movie titled "Gay sex lovin'" don't you
think you can figure out what it's about?

Agreed!!! If something has explicit sexual content, you should, at the very
least have a age verification page. (click only if over 18, or whatever.
It's not much but better than nothing.)
The sort of ranting in this message scares me. This "filth" is John's
opinion and while entitled to his opinion he has no right to dictate what I
or anyone else can or cannot view. Now I want to say I have not seen this
movie, and have no desire to do so either. That is my right, my privalidge.
I will not have it taken away!
