ANYONE - That means ALL OF YOU. It doesn't matter if your own your own website, your a webmaster, or if your pushing someone else's program - If you've put a picture on line they can come after you.
Why isn't anyone paying attention to this?

Gee, why does this post hit home?
A few of you around here know my story . . . we ran our own amateur swinger's site - pictures of us and sometimes it involved others.
A pretty lengthy article discussing our case written by David Wasserman can be found here:

A religious group in Oklahoma - most famous for forcing a Tulsa or Oklahoma City radio station to stop carrying Howard Stern - targeted our website. After a year of pressure they finally convinced a district attorney to file criminal charges against us for distributing obscene materials in Oklahoma. We live in Texas. We're not underage, and had nothing other than "normal" sex on our website . . . ok, well we had threesomes and such but you know what I mean. I think the Okies interpretation of threesome involves a brother, a sister, and a sheep. So perhaps they just got confused.
To make a long story shorter, David Wasserman was our attorney and the case dragged on for over a year. When it became clear that it was going to actualy go to trial, we finally caved, shut down our site, and agreed to the judge's order that we would no longer operate.
It would have made a great test case, however we weren't willing to put that much of our lives at risk.
