Rob Black and Extreme Associates win in fed court
 

This just hit the AVN newswire:

But my inside source tells me that a federal judge in Pittsburgh, PA threw the case out because the videos Extreme had been prosecuted over had been sent via mail order from an internet website - direct from Extreme - and the federal judge took issue with traditional obscenity tests of "community standards" being applied from the Pittsburgh community rather than from Extreme's own home community.

This is VERY good news for the entire industry when the feds want to attempt to bring obscenity prosecutions to website owners. I have always asked "what community standard will be applied?"

This federal judge could not determine the answer and had to dismiss the case on one of Extreme's motions to dismiss that the description of obscenity or the test for obscenity couldn't be applied because it was an internet transaction.

Personally, I can't believe Rob and Extreme won their case in this day and age, but maybe, just maybe, the sky is not falling...
