Utterly pointless chance for 50.00
 

After reading a few threads the lack of history struck me as odd to say the least.

Out of sheer curiosity I am wondering if "adult" webmasters can answer a few questions relating to the adult business.

I know honesty is hard, but lets not try to use the search engines to get your answers. If you must then please promise to actually read up on it.

(Some of you, you know whom you are, stay out of it until the rest of them gets a chance).

Whomever gives me the best answers (I am the judge) will get 50.00 in content from Fantasy Content excluding re-sale videos, plug-ins, subscription services, and website templates.

Note they did not put me up to this or anything, I love their stuff and have some credit there that I will not be using any time soon.


Here it goes:[list=1][*]What was WAP? and what effect did it have on the industry?[*]Why did Alan Sears place a gag order on Edna F. Einsiedel?[*]What script writter was given 734,000.00 study the cartoons in Playboy, Penthouse, and Hustler, and who gave it?[*]1984, Explain what the Reagan Administration started?[*]Explain the three prongs of obscenity based on California Vs. Miller, and which is most missing in internet porn?[*]Valentine's Day, 1979, at noon (EDT), what happened?[*]How did the Government destroy Ginger Lynn?[/list=1]

Have at it, and thanks Fantasy Content

To... much... thinking...

:glugglug

b

Number 6 was some kind of organized crime porn bust type thing, right?

This is like the review questions in a fucking college class...

Too much thinking I think its nite nite time hehe :)

Well everyone feel free to attempt, I will check back in the afternoon to see what you all came up with.

my answers and where I learned it...off the top of my head, meaning most of them are probably wrong.

1. WAP- wireless application protocol, basically what wireless phones use to transfer movies and information. (Learned this in college, Computer Science class)

2. Eisenhold was a phychologist who used porn in her treatments of their patients. She thought they had meaning, and could help her patients. (Psychology class)

3. US Justice Department gave the grant of $700,000. (Read about this in a magazine about governement and stupid ways they spend money. Like paying $150 per nail for a building project as well as selling government vehicles at auction for 15 cents or some crazy low number, the guy who studied the sex life of the common house fly and other ways the government wastes our money )

4. Presidential Debate (Freshmen Economics)

5.
1. Only For Porn and Sexual appeal
2. Offensive
3. Lacking Art
the one most missing in internet porn I would say would be lacking art :-) lol...
(learned this in college "Internet Law & Policy", used the abbreviate AOL (appeal, offensive, lacking) I had the hottest teacher ever, she was 27 years old, fucking beautiful. Only reason why I paid attention. I miss her..

5. Largest porn bust ever, happened all over the US at the same time. (don't remember where I heard about this)

6. no clue...im not going to guess

I have Business Administration Degree. 100K in tuition. My parents would be proud :Graucho

You are the closest allamerican2003, but missing a few.

This is all our history folks, so come on someone step up and show us you know your adult business. It will shed some light on the goings on today and how the Government handles this sort of thing.

More clarity on number 3. This person wrote scripts for Captain Kangaroo.

Other than that everything is industry related, not technology related.

If i recall what you are talking about with the ginger lynn thing was the tax evasion arrest. Which was part of a crackdown on porn. Since they did not have a solid reason to mess with them they went after there tax records which where of course fucked up.

My wife took the time to hunt up these answers.

1. Wireless Application Protocol (WAP)
Expanded the porn market vastly when applied to cell phones.

2. Einsiedel was hired by the Meese commission to review studies done about porn. Her summary concluded that there was no specific link between the fantasy and sexual offenses. Since this contradicted the thoughts of the commision, the gag order was placed.

3. Dr. Judith Reisman was paid by the Justice Department.

4. In 1984 the attorney general's commission on pornography was formed, and became the Meese Commission.

5. The "Miller Test"
a. the material must appeal to the lurid interest in sex
b. portray sexual conduct in a way that is offensive to local community
c. lack serious literary, artistic, political or scientific value.

It would seem that b is the problem in prosecuting online obscenity. Who's community standard is used?

6. Judge Harris finds Pink Triangle Press and three officers not guilty of possession of obscene material for distribution. "Men Loving Boys Loving Men"

7. Ginger Lynn was tried for tax evasion and spent some time in jail.

We have almost got it, suprised there was not more people attempting.
I will check again when I get back from my lawyers office.

WAP is the only one I know. Wireless Application Protocol, but I don't see how it affects the industry.

So far everyone is off on WAP, its not a technology accronym.

WAP was actually Women Against Pornography and they testified before Meese Commission.

Their remarks were entered into the record.

quote
When the Final Report was issued, WAP called a triumphant press conference. In a joint statement, Andrea Dworkin and Catharine MacKinnon crowed over the Commission's endorsement of their ordinance, which defines and bans pornography as a violation of women's civil rights. They never mentioned the minor hitch that the ordinance had already been declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court because it would proscribe material that is protected by the First Amendment. [9] Perhaps they had not read the full text of the Commission's recommendation of their ordinance, which contains the demurrer that, of course, "The only constitutionally permissible approach...is to reach material containing sexually violent or...degrading material when it is legally obscene." [10] It takes more than a press conference to hide the fact that WAP was hoodwinked, coopted, and used.

Thanks Alex! :thumbsup

Someone just string em together and you get some content.
Almost all the answers are in this thread already.

Then please look at how this all transpired and then take a look at whats happening today. Some of the very same key players during these events are envolved again with the Attorney General.

1. WAP was actually Women Against Pornography and they testified before Meese Commission.

2. Einsiedel was hired by the Meese commission to review studies done about porn. Her summary concluded that there was no specific link between the fantasy and sexual offenses. Since this contradicted the thoughts of the commision, the gag order was placed.

6. Judge Harris finds Pink Triangle Press and three officers not guilty of possession of obscene material for distribution. "Men Loving Boys Loving Men"

7. Ginger Lynn was tried for tax evasion and spent some time in jail.

OK, most were answered correctly by some, still open in my opinion, yet I will be back in a few hours and pick a winner from whomever I feel is/was the closest.

Ok Nyght You got the most correct by my views.

Only thing I differ on opinion is number 5 being C, not B. Laws are in effect currently where one can be tried under that county or states standards.

Pictures and movies of just sex I do not think would pass the mustard for art as the majority define it, therfore I would hope to see more literary value added into some sites today.

To collect your prize just email me at freeadultcontent @ charter.net or icq me (number is under my name to the left)

Thanks www.fantasycontent.com for allowing me to give away my credit I had with you. You all know when I need some more material your one of the first on my list.

Opps forgot, number 6. Was operation MIPORN, 400 cross country porn raids all at one time. From distributors to movie houses.

Ginger Lynn was too hot for her own good. She had to be taken down. None of those government clowns were getting any work done with her being so hot.

Hey blame traci lords.

I know WAP, how it affected the industry though? Basicallly some dudes partnered up with 1-900 phone sex lines for referals, and made WAP porn sites that just had link to 1-900 numbers and made some money that way.


Basically that is all that it did, because no one in their right mind makes a whole WAP site with images, they sit and wait patiently for Compact HTML and i-mode :) (at least that is what I was doing 2 years ago, now I could give a rats ass about cell phones)
