The verdict was as expected. Anyone who thought it was a sure thing that he would be found not guilty was living in their own dream world. Not many people win obscenity cases that go to trial. GFY is acting as if this case is something new. THEY HAPPEN ALL THE TIME ACROSS THE COUNTRY. You just don't read about them on GFY or the industry news sites.
They even go after foreign webmasters for sending obscenity into the US through the internet. The infamous Two Girls One Cup video out of Brazil was involved in such a case a couple years ago (he took a plea bargain).
There used to be a page online that had a running total of all the obscenity cases for each year and then a win, loss, settle column. Anyone know the site? If I recall, most took the settlement. Those who didn't, lost the vast majority of the time.
