CNET UK Podcast 142: What do you do about Internet obscenity?
This week Ian and Nate asked that most ancient of all questions: is it possible to 'clean up' the Internet and should we even try? It's a debate that's been sparked off by the decision that the author of 'Girls (scream) Aloud' didn't break obscenity laws with his close-to-the-bone work of fiction. With Nate a fan of Cannibal Corpse, it's not hard to guess what his opinion on censorship is -- but is there a solution for everyone else?
There was also the usual look at the week's news and events, we discussed the new universal phone-charger agreement, Twitter trademarking 'tweet' and the Palm Pre's imminent arrival in the UK.

HP's new music video, featuring the sounds from a printer, can be seen on YouTube. There is also another, earlier version by Mistabishi, the chap involved with the HP version, which we think is a much more credible track. Give both a listen, and let us know what you think.
