Joining Aleks Krotoski, Jemima Kiss and Charles Arthur this week is Paul Walsh from MetaCert, the company contracted by the ICM Registry to classify the content of the new crop of .xxx web addresses, to be launched later this year. Paul talks the pod team through what makes the cut and what doesn't, and how MetaCert rates content for a global audience.
The team also speak with Chris Marcich, president and managing director of the Motion Picture Association of America's European office, which recently won a landmark cake against BT. The ISP was asked to block access to Newzbin2, a site known to share links to copyrighted content. Marchich parries the debate about the legal and political implications of an ISP as arbiter of acceptable content.
Also in this week's podcast, why Google Chrome has become the second most popular web browser in the UK, behind Microsoft's Internet Explorer and ahead of Mozilla's Firefox, and the latest on LulzSec, the hacker network.
