Any time a new and revolutionary invention is unveiled, it is bound to dig up legal and ethical ques- useless tions. The Internet is no exception. The debate of whether to regulate content, and more specifically Commentary pornography, on the Internet is not going to end any time soon. However, it has recently been on trial in the Supreme Court, and the court's decision on Reno vs. ACLU is due in June. Chances are that this ruling will be similar to Roe vs. Wade in 1973 — it will not resolve the issue, it will just make one side able to legally back up its position.
