And that why the stupid government will lose on appeal. And for other reason too. they CLEARLY violated Miller v California

Thi part of Miller bothers me and needs to be redressed in the courts

"4. The jury may measure the essentially factual issues of prurient appeal and patent offensiveness by the standard that prevails in the forum community, and need not employ a "national standard.""

If this shit holds up websites will just have to start IP blocking areas of the country where they might run into trouble.
