D'oh. This will be interesting to see how this one plays out as cities/states have individual rules on what can be shipped to them. Some places don't allow porn to be shipped there at all - I think Tennessee is one.

Right after the John Stagliano verdict also. :error

This is what the libertarian folks think about John's trial :1orglaugh
Quote:

Ridiculous pornography trial violates Constitution
The federal trial of pornographer John Stagliano began last week. Libertarian National Committee Chairman Mark Hinkle issued the following statement today:

"As Reason magazine's Richard Abowitz wrote, 'The case against Stagliano concerns the selling of movies performed by consenting adults to entertain adult DVD viewers who have chosen to watch these films. In a free and open society this is exactly the kind of prosecution that should not happen.'

"Federal anti-obscenity laws are unconstitutional in two ways. First, because the Constitution does not grant Congress any power to regulate or criminalize obscenity. And second, because the First Amendment guarantees the right of free speech.

Sounds like this one might be a done deal... literally.

75k fine probably made possible by the wheels coming off that other case.

Possibly -- but if it is true that ADE started returning BSDM stock to production houses six months ago, my hunch is that this deal had pretty well taken shape long before the Stagliano trial had even begun.

sounds like open season to me. if they are being charged with sending "obscene" material to Erie,PA then couldn't they be charged with sending any material considered obscene to any location?

those titles sounded like hardcore bondage/light torture type titles so there has been a case made for this kind of material being obscene already.

its slightly confusing but it seems like any phyical distributor could get popped for sending a video deemed obscene thru the mail, and they are starting to get more aggressive about prosecution.

LOL, Didn't someone tell me that having Obama in office would be better for our business?

I know this happened a couple years ago, but it's still is going on

Just like Tommy Chong getting 9 months for selling a bong to PA, it's a fucking piece of glass!


Pricks just want to force morality on everyone else

Local and state have rules for SHIPPING porn. For example, we cannot ship Pink Visual DVDs to a distributor or retailer in the state of Tennessee, just one of those locations that has the no porn shipping rule.

Then many states have what they consider obscene going through the mail. We have a list of zip codes we aren't allowed and DO NOT send to. Legal keeps us updated frequently to any additions or removals from the list.

WARRENDALE, Pa.?According to documents filed yesterday in U.S. District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania, Adult DVD Empire, under its corporate name, Right Ascension, Inc., has been charged with "Mailing Obscene Matters," based on an FBI postal sting carried out "on or about May 29, 2007"?and will plead guilty to that count within the next few days.

like the right would let them close porn investigations. that's too funny.
