No, of course not, like all web pr0n, kids have to learn the harsh economic reality of webland... you gotta pay to view it.<br>I remember the good old days when all this porn was free... no wonder usenet is still popular with da kidz :)<br>So, anyone ever Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7961660238450693245.post-36418322863675438302004-06-18T00:25:00.002+01:002004-06-18T00:25:00.002+01:00I see what you're saying.

The thing is, I'm not worried about it - I'll wait until there's legislation because that's what it will take.
