Not hardly. All you need is one jury to convict anyone. Like I wrote to MS, if they dont get Max on this or Black, I fully expect them to pass an actual law forbidding photographing any genitalia or sexual act.
Right now it is too easy for both sides to win. This isnt about right and wrong or justice. This is about one way of belief against another and sadly, our way of belief is heavily out numbered in modern society.
Theres no way that 12 normal civilians will look at Max's stuff and vomit in their own mouths a little bit. This has conviction written all over it. Same with Black and JM. But to think the USGOV will ever stop is absurd. As long as there is a religious right voting for politicians, they will continue to prosecute.
Anything anyone says, writes, films, photographs, etc... can be obscene...you just have to find a jury to agree with you...This is FL. In Tampa. Not Miami.
Heres one thing that interests me though...how can you charge someone with mailing something obscene when a court has to first declare a product obscene?
Sadly, we would be much better off if we actually had a REAL law that defines what obscenity is so those that are trying to keep from breaking the law can continue to do so.
