New Law to Protect Clean Movies

In a somewhat circuitous manner (called backtracks) I found out at the Acton Institute's  Power Blog that

President Bush signed a bill into law yesterday that exempts companies such as ClearPlay from litigation for copyright infringement. ClearPlay, for example, offers a DVD player that will filter out "objectionable" content. Consumers are free to purchase this item or not, depending on the sensitivity of their tastes and the ability of the ClearPlay device to cater to their demands.

ClearPlay is the service mentioned in the first post this morning. I was cheered by the mention this morning, also, by the respondent, John, that he and his wife wanted to keep their new daughter as far away from television as possible, and that they don't watch it. I can't think of a single reason for trying to argue them out of that position.
