They take freedom so for granted, they'd throw it out to prevent people (consentual adults!) from partaking of pornography. Of all the idiotic causes to risk liberty over, this is one of the worst. That, and as you mentioned, the lack of attention is driving the problem still further.

Oh! and Chris Tucker was arrested for speeding -- way back in April. They showed footage of that. And Oprah showed up at a Hermes store afterhours so she could buy Tina Turner a $6500, the store turned her away, those bastards! Tom Cruise still loves Katie Holmes, and Karl Rove hates liberals.<BR/><BR/>But wealthy, politically connected land developers had a good day at least.

Thanks, MT (you don't mind if I call you tha...Hehe. Thanks, MT (you don't mind if I call you that, do you?).<BR/><BR/>With regards to this disturbing law, I seem to think that a crapflooding of the law is in order. Perhaps its just me, but this idea has two roots: 1) Crapflooding is what the 'net does best, and 2) the gov't has trouble dealing with crapflooding.<BR/><BR/>In short, let this not be a chilling effect, but a call to action. I should set up a site that links non-compliant works, just to screw with people. As I wouldn't be <EM>publishing</EM> the works, I wouldn't be liable... and the works could be served over Freenet, Tor, etc., or off-shores, thus frustrating legal countermeasures. I am reminded of the <A HREF="http://www-2.cs.cmu.edu/~dst/DeCSS/Gallery/" REL="nofollow">DeCSS Gallery</A> that effectively crapflooded the hell out of the DMCA.<BR/><BR/>The problem is, this has little to no effect on the broader problem... once the crapflood's momentum ends, the law remains. Thus, it should act only as a tactic of stalling until the ACLU, EFF, and porn industries get their shit together. How ironic that Bush, the antagonist of the story, <A HREF="http://www.wonkette.com/politics/dc/mary-carey-and-the-prohigh-life-republicans-108157.php" REL="nofollow">just</A> <A HREF="http://www.wonkette.com/politics/personalities/gossip-roundup-goporn-108096.php" REL="nofollow">got</A> <A HREF="http://www.wonkette.com/politics/dc/hot-hot-hot-mary-carey-press-conference-107842.php" REL="nofollow">done</A> <A HREF="http://www.wonkette.com/politics/republicans/porn-stars-date-with-gop-coming-soon-107266.php" REL="nofollow">meeting</A> <A HREF="http://www.wonkette.com/politics/republicans/wildmon-furious-at-nrcc-boobs-107808.php" REL="nofollow">with</A> <A HREF="http://www.wonkette.com/politics/personalities/gossip-roundup-hardball-hardcovers-107716.php" REL="nofollow">a</A> <A HREF="http://www.marycarey.com/" REL="nofollow">porn star</A>.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10298483138666657303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13466737.post-1119503135856366162005-06-22T22:05:00.000-07:002005-06-22T22:05:00.000-07:00Wait to go, Chris!

You are a little bit of a celebrity now.<BR/><BR/>Anyhow, I'm deeply concerned about this law for a few reasons. Firstly, I did not hear one word about this law until I hear about it going into effect. Second, I'm concerned as a creator -- an artist. I'm not a pornographer, but if I want to create a film that involves nudity, how am I supposed to handle this whole new set of obstacles? Publishing successfully is difficult enough without government interference! Also, what about illustrations? How does this law effect them?<BR/><BR/>Your pal, Mass Treble.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
