Chris Wilson is being screwed by the government because they didn?t like the photos on his website NowThatsFuckedUp.com of dead US soldiers. The erotic content on his site was plain-jane/joe stuff that over 90% of the sites in the USA contain. And, to make the matters worse, they want to revoke his bond because he didn?t take down the erotic content on his site after he was busted citing probable cause that he has continued to operate an ?obscene website?. There is just one rub: The website has never been found to be obscene.

This seems to me to be a new form of speech: Presumptive Obscenity. Under current law, as I understand it, a message can not be inferred to be obscene until there has been an adversarial hearing before a judge. And, the hearing for Chris hasn?t happened.

If Chris? bond is revoked tomorrow and he is returned to jail, that means the government has accused him of obscenity for displaying ordinary content, revoked his bond and remanded him into custody pending his trial date without ever having a hearing to determine if the content on the site is, in fact, obscene. Chilling??as this could happen to you too.

Basically, they can show up at your door, take your equipment and records, put you in jail until you come to trial and never have a hearing in front of a judge that your content is obscene. We are talking about months in jail.

What is wrong with this??

This is the most flagrant violation of a webmaster?s First Amendment rights that I have seen; and, I?ve seen a lot. Wake up, GFY. Your collective asses are on the line with Chris? ass.

Chris, his friends and family have set up a new site called FreeChris.org in order to inform the public with how the trial is progressing and solicit support for the legal effort. Take a moment out of your busy day, visit the site, and educate yourselves on this groundbreaking case. If you can send Chris some financial help, he would be grateful as he and his family are pretty tapped out after spending over $100,000 so far in fees and bonds. This is the season of caring and I?m sending Chris a check for $500 today. I hope other webmasters and site owner will realize the importance of winning this case and help Chris as well.
