While I don't agree with the Polk County mounty on this one, I will have to say this:
There is nothing in the books, law or judgement, that says he is wrong. Nobody has tested to find out if we are subject to the community standards of the RECEVIER or of the SENDER, or if the internet as a whole has it's own community to judge from.
If you send an obscene video tape into polk county, they could charge you and I suspect they could make it stick. I think their logic is "the delivery method isn't important, just the product". Until someone proves them wrong, they are free to go about and lay charges based on their view of the law as it reads to date.
It isn't going to fly, but they sure could use it to fuck some people up in the mean time.
... and no, Redrob, I will not donate money.
