I may be aginst your rights... but in the land of the good ol USA it is guilty intill you prove yourself innocent.. I do belive from what I have read this guy needs to be shut down, however this case can cause serious harm to honest webmasters.

Wrong that will be used as an independent basis to prove that he knew non-adults were looking at his site. They are interpreting the statute exactly as I thought they would. Knowingly simply means (to the government) that you know (or should have known by the reasonable person standard) that it is theoretically possible for children to access your content, and that is theoretically possible for a child or adult for that matter to be mislead by your domain name. If this guy gets convicted and looses his appeals, this will become the standard interpretation of this stature. If you don?t have porn or sex in your domain name you will simply be screwed, and it won?t matter if you run your stuff professionally or not.
