With regards to the problem of child pornography and other legally-risky
postings, here is a software solution which will take awhile (years) to fully 
impliment:

Define extensions to the distribution line, such as:

Distribution:  world - na + edu

This would distribute everywhere except North America, but would allow
distribution to edu sites, even if they were in North America.

Granted this system isn't problem-proof, but it is simple, clear, and
build on what we already have.

Using this scheme, selective cancelling can be done also.
