Anyway, it’s a bit of a tangent on the current debate, but I would like to
see something like that implemented for the entertainment industry at large

Here is a great example of some profound fundamental differences between the
Right and Left. Anytime you talk of “implementing” something, what you really
mean is for the government to take it over and control it. That in my mind is
not the function of government-- to restrict my rights, just protect them.
Let the free market work out that stuff. Now, if you are afraid of unscrupulous
entreprenuers screwing the little guy, than I’ll gladly agree and take the
discussion to the topic of morality and ethics which is really the crux of the
issue.
You can’t legislate morality, especially coming from an amoral entity like
government. When you reject God and Religion, you cannot substitute government.
You invariabley end up with the likes of Stalin.
