Abstract

There are many facets of child safety on the internet. Here the interest is in two scenarios: firstly, protection of children using the internet from viewing pornographic images; and secondly, the prevention of damage to children through adults viewing child pornography disseminated via the internet. The aim is to explore whether warnings or informational advice attached to sites would dissuade individuals from visiting them. Consideration will be given to the practicalities of attaching these warnings as well as to their success/failure in other media and across other products before assessing their utility in these scenarios. In essence, their use to protect children against viewing pornography is probably of little value, and may be counterproductive except in helping carers to guide safe use on the internet. Use of informational advice attached to child pornography sites may have more success and be worth pursuing, as might realistic warnings of prosecution. More research needs to be conducted into automatic means of assessing the nature of sites, into the mechanics of successful warnings on the internet and into their effects in this medium and for this material.

Committee reports. Report on patent law revision**The evidence in support of the Preambles and Resolutions and suggested additions to the copyright, patent and trade-mark laws contained in the first part of our report was not published in the May Journal owing to want of space. I am now sending you the remaining part of the report, by request, as it is considered quite necessary for the members of the Association to have in their hands before the next annual meeting, the entire document for consideration and study. It is believed that this will decidedly facilitate matters and save much time at the annual meeting which otherwise might be used up in unnecessary discussion of the subject.Your Committee wishes to again emphasize that fact that we have no desire to impose our personal views on the Association. The copyright and patent laws were designed to promote progress in science and the useful arts and the trade-mark laws to protect the public from fraud and imposition. It is generally conceded that the laws as now interpreted and applied fall short in accomplishing their purpose. It is therefore incumbent upon the A. Ph. A., representing the pharmacists of America, to suggest proper modifications of the law, of such kind as to secure the very important objects for which they were enacted.—F. E. Stewarcth, Chairman.
