Supreme Court deals death blow to antiporn law

Quote :

... On Wednesday, the U.S. Supreme Court rejected prosecutors' last-ditch defense of the Child Online Protection Act, meaning that the law will not be enforced.

COPA was enacted during the anti-Internet porn scares of the late 1990s, in part as a narrower answer to a previous Net censorship law that also met its demise in the courts. Any commercial Web site operator that posts "material that is harmful to minors" faces six months in prison and a fine of up to $50,000.

The American Civil Liberties Union filed suit against the law in Philadelphia, saying the prohibition was so broad and vague that even traditional publishers could face fines and imprisonment. Plaintiffs included Salon.com, which occasionally publishes racy material, the California-based lesbian-gay A Different Light Bookstore, PlanetOut, and a now-defunct coalition that included CNET Networks (publisher of CNET News), The New York Times Co., and Reuters. (A CNET executive testified against the law in January 1999.)

"It is not the role of the government to decide what people can see and do on the Internet," ACLU staff attorney Chris Hansen said in a statement on Wednesday. "Those are personal decisions that should be made by individuals and their families." ...

Hmm, something is very wrong there, it appears common sense was being used. In a court.

i must admit this bit worrys me; "It is not the role of the government to decide what people can see and do on the Internet," ACLU staff attorney Chris Hansen said in a statement on Wednesday. "Those are personal decisions that should be made by individuals and their families."

cause does that mean that child peados are now allowed to look at those kinds of photos? because its "up to them and there families" ?

If the photos themselves are illegal, then no.


Aren't there a bunch of other weird rules in place for pr0n though? Like no actual pics of coitus (although they are allowed, obviously, in flicks).

And I do not think the c-shot is SO popular that every flik out there has it (although I wouldn't know, seeing how I am a pure and God fearing individual!!!). Isn't there some sort of rule preventing the male from finishing inside?

WTF is up with that crap? We over protect on the things that really do not matter and end up giving out adolescents complexes that bug them for life.

There is a shot/sequence in pr0n called a 'cream pie', where the male ejaculates inside the willing subject, being either anal or vaginal, and the ejaculate is then allowed to exit the orifice in basic adherence to the Newtonian laws of physics.

Ergo, therefore, and maybe, this implies that no rule exists in pr0n that prohibits a male from ejaculating in aforementioned willing subject.

The above statement is hypocritical! Simply by communicating the thought that you don't believe in rules by using a form of communication that is strictly governed by established grammatical norms implies that you are contradicting yourself.

Mugz, I know what you are saying, but it seems odd that so many (or so I have heard) films seem it necessary to show a mostly male audience another guy spewing out all over an attractive woman. I have (heard) of a few of the shots you have talked about, but they are in the minority...

Also, what is up with no actual coitus in porn mags. Are they too public to be that pubic? Strange rules we have here....
