But the details of his current bond revocation do not paint a sympathetic picture to me. At his arrest, the defendant was aware the judge felt the content of his site was probably illegal. Upon release, he was told to refrain from further illegal activity. After release, he continued to add more content which the judge would consider similarly illegal. If the judge revokes his bond, it shouldn't be surprising. He was released based on certain conditions which he violated. (Based on cursory press accounts I've seen, anyway).

It seems to me that a lot of people have lost waht is supposed to go on in a court room. This is not about what the Judge " THINKS " this is about what the " LAW " proves is illegal. The Judges Opinion is not supposed to have any effect on the case. But it does not seem to work that way any more. This person is supposed to be innocent until proven guilty. Which means that the materials on the site are legal, until PROVEN illegal. Not illegal, becuase the Judge " THINKS " they might be!
