The prime minister of Norway recently told the Norwegian congress that 
she will never allow the Internet to be controlled or censored the way 
the U.S. Congress wants it.

Of course, if I should send "indecent" material to you, and you forward 
it, you will be the one breaking a law. In that case, I'll contact 
Amnesty International and ask them to adopt you.  :-) 

Of course, no law can be retroactive, so it only applies to material 
submitted after the law was put in effect (and until it is hopefully 
defeated by the U.S. supreme court).


Cheers,
- Jan
