"Obscenity" and "sexually explicit" are protected by our First Amendment rights only as far as the "prurient interests" of those in a community will allow it.

We, as vendors of such things, walk a slippery slope and must be mindful that we can't vend anything we want on the internet.

What we see as "ok" may not be seen the same way by others. It's gray. It's complicated. It's sketchy.

It's the way it is, and sadly, when walking a slippery slope, some can fall. I neither agree with what's happening with Chris Wilson or disagree, because I haven't followed the case enough and don't know of the content that's under scrutiny to make my own decision.

Realize, it's people making decisions on what's right and what's wrong, what's appropriate and not for our First Amendment rights. And those people aren't you.

Right or wrong, that's how it is.
