Porn Arrest

[Hooper]

I find it amusing that people think these are obscenity charges.

While adult material may be the reason, the fact is that the content is not at issue here. These people sound to me like they were in violation of any number of pretty standard ordinances. My brilliant and astounding legal mind believes that these will probably all be knocked down to misdemeanors and they will be forced to move their business elsewhere. JMHO.

I also got spammed by the adult webmaster newsletter today and they linked to a lawyers board where they were touting two new obscenity cases. In the first the individual sent some very *alternative* porn through the us postal mail to a bad zipcode and in the second the individual was caught downloading child pornography.

I dont know why, but to me none of these cases really set off my *oh-shit-o-meter* because they are all doing things that are either very extreme (the alternative video), very illegal (the kiddie porn), or very stupid (ignoring local zoning laws).

The day i hear them shutting somebody down for a facial video or an inter-racial porn exclusively for the content is when I think we should begin worrying.
