LM the problem is, this now opens the door for asscraft and his goonies to go after whom ever they want.. All they have to do is go to a community that will find your website offensive then try your case there...


I agree these assholes from what I hear sold some fucked up shit and probally deserved what they got.. but this is bad news IMO for Adult in general. Mainstreem may or maynot be affected, but some of the niches that are legal but extreem could very well be effected..

how hard is it to throw bondage in here.. saying it's deplecting pain and suffering therfore "could be" offensive to "someone"..I personally wouldn't put it past the current admin

IMO this is clearly a blackspot on our First Amendment rights.

Dallas-based U.S. Attorney Jane Boyle said in a statement: "This case clearly demonstrates that a jury drawn from our community can make a determination that materials containing offensive adult material violate our community standards. The citizens on the jury clearly rejected the Ragsdales' contention that the materials they sold did not violate community standards."
