That's a dangerous position to "stand on." It assumes one is guilty and must prove their innocence.
I'm sure you didn't mean it that way, but saying it casually like that makes it sound like it's just all the way it is. I for one, take a stand against that position.
We were never prosecuted for our Traci Lords materials, because we pulled them all. (And of course, promptly destroyed them....)
But that was a bad deal, some people did do time for it, and it was wrong. Her mother, who told the agent she was over 18, didn't get punished at all.
If someone was gonna be hung out to dry, (Not that I think anyone should have,) it should have been her mother.
