I always love it when I'm looking around for stories about our company and come across something like this:
http://www.politicsnj.com/porn-lawye...xec-race-10506
Where to begin! First, Eric hasn't been a moderator on YNOT's chat boards for YEARS... that fact is so out of date it isn't even funny.
Second, we do not give out free legal advice... we do cover legal topics/news of interest to webmasters and help webmasters understand what legal issues affect their businesses. There's a big difference between that and legal advice.
Third, we haven't actively used the ynotmasters.com domain in YEARS, it just redirects to ynot.com now when you click on anything.... Jesus, you'd think these people could do just a small amount of fact checking before they posted a story like this. At least get our URL right!
Fourth, we're hardly a "one stop shop" for "hardcore pornographers" ... we're working on getting there, but I think we have a few more features to add first before we can make that claim!
But complaints about the inaccuracies aside... is this guy suggesting that legal adult-oriented businesses do not deserve competent legal counsel? It sounds to me like this guy is suggesting Eric should be punished, by losing some of his government clients, just because he also represents us adult industry undesirables. So, if Eric were representing rapists and murderers, there'd be no problem then? If not, if that too were a problem, then is this guy suggesting that any active or former defense attorneys who now work for the government should be fired?
I'm at a loss for how it makes sense to hold attorneys accountable for their clients, or to how this guy thinks his arguments will make him look better than his opponent.
And here's a clue to the reporter who wrote this story... a quick call to YNOT or even to Eric Bernstein could have set the facts straight right from the start. And it might not hurt to ask grandstanding politicians some tough questions to call them on their obvious lameness when they play these morality games.
