Default Re: Ray Guhn Case to Depend on Community Standards

The only good (but expensive) news in all of this is if they lose, they have a ready made appeal that goes all the way to the surpreme court.

Essentially, the internet in and of itself is a community, with it's own standards and such. Further, the only way to access the internet normally is to enter into a contract and purchase / rent / barter for service. Those contracts can only be entered into by adults.

The internet isn't like putting a sex video store next to an elementary school. The only children in this neighborhood are here with their parents permission and support.

I have a feeling that this one is going to take a long, long time to come out in the wash.
