		This infrastructure provides for both the self-description of content (for example by the author or publisher) as well as third-party description allowing for multiple, independent services to associate additional descriptive information with content created and distributed by others.

		The problem at the core of any access control system for the Internet is that someone, somewhere, needs to define what is "good" information and what is "bad." Based upon those ratings, individuals can then decide if they want to see the information.
		Given the global nature of the Internet, and the varying standards between communities, it is impossible to place a single label on a document that everyone can use to control access to that document.

		The Supreme Court decided that the "Internet is entitled to the same broad free speach protections given to books, magazines, and casual conversations." The ACLU had argued that the CDA was unconstitutional because although it did limit minor's access to inappropriate sites, it also limited the access for adults.
		The ACLU said that the act will "reduce the adult population in cyberspace to reading and communicating material that is suitable for younger children." Also, the ACLU stated that the Act would not be as effective as proposed becuase almost 40% of Internet content originates outside United States borders.

	Proposed Solution
		Originally designed to provide parents and teachers control over the content children access over the Internet, the World Wide Web Consortium's Platform for Internet Content Selection (PICS) is a method by which developers may associate labels with content (W3C, PICS 1).
		Such information, while offering the means by which content developers can protect the products they create, client software--web browsers, search engines, proxy servers and agents--can benefit from the increased instruction over what to do with particular information.
		As such, when restricted from quoting content, the browser should eliminate the user's ability to select and copy arbitrary objects on the page--specifically text.
