Also they misstate two cases in Florida - first off they are both the same case and same person - and second he hasnt been prosecuted yet.
The also list the fact that there were 40 obscenity cases prosecuted in the US since 2001 - this would also require some facts to back up as I think that there has only been 1 and that one the govt lost.
The fact that one WM has decided to close down their site without fighting sounds to me like they are probably part of this organization and doing it to back up getting people to donate to this cause - which in this case unfortunately sounds like a bunch of people embellishing the truth to make money.

If someone has a real case (and not a pedo case like the other case they mention in that release) then I totally agree that we should back the FSC or EFF to go after the Gov't - just like we have in the past - and won.
They also mention that only 4 cases were brought during Clinton - but if I remember correctly - his Atty Gen did exactly the same thing and caused all of us to have problems and fight against the first COPA - I still remember everyone having the little ribbon and the black pages

The overall point is that there are some people in this industry that try to benefit from causing alarm based on false stories - and it seems to be growing exponentially in the last year - its shameful - but expected in an environment where its already worked once
