>> The Australian Communications and Media Authority is seeking industry and public comment on the determination of a technical standard that will make parental lock a required feature for digital television receivers. A parental lock is a feature of digital television receivers which allows controlled access to programs based on their classification, for example, G, PG, M or MA.

Ofcourse the problem isn't just for receivers but also 
recording machines, not just the Internet but the cache on 
the computer. This reminds me of a talk I gave many years 
ago about the Internet/Web. One member of the audience was 
very concerned about whether content in the Cache could be 
accessed by other members of the family....
