Well, some here may be suffering from paranoia over the issue, I'm 
simply discussing the way it's worded.  And I'll stand by my assertion 
that the wording does not constrain them, even though I know the risk of 
their overreaching is virtually nil.

There's an "argument" (you might say) going on in Jolly Old Blighty 
right now about an "Extreme Porn" law that's either being knocked around 
in Parliament or has already passed but not yet come into effect.  One 
of the most accurate comments I've heard through the furor appeared in 
an article in "The Register" 
(http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/06/19/extreme_guidance/).

"However, [the West Midlands Police CID] further pointed out that when 
it came to interpreting the law, Ministerial statements were largely 
worthless. The courts would look at what was written into statute: not 
what was handed out in the press releases."

My experience with contract law is that it's much the same.  What's 
actually written in the contract is paramount, posturing before or after 
entering into the contract notwithstanding.
