I'm not sure. After all, it's not Microsoft who advises you. And the "Parental Advisory" is just so well known (http://www.riaa.com/issues/parents/advisory.asp) that the reference gets lost when you change too much of it.

Just with CDs, the label is *meant* to address parents, but in reality it's more or less a seal of quality as far as the kids are concerned. So, while "explicit content" might be seen as something good for some people, "restricted content" never is.

Nice idea. But I still have trouble coming up with a single image or a slogan that captures this thought. The most concise way of expressing this I've read is what Eben Moglen said, "Those boxes [...] running software you can't see, can't control, which are in touch with other people on the network in ways you can't understand, those boxes are called intruders. Do you want to have an intruder in every room of your house [...]?"

The Big Brother theme comes to mind, but that's overused. Or HAL 9000. But then again, I feel I'm just a victim of popular culture. :-)

Kind Regards,
M.F.
