Breaking: Max Hardcore Sentenced To Forty Six Months In Jail
It's a tough time to be obscene — at least if your name is Max Hardcore. The notorious pornographer has been sentenced to 46 months in prison and fined more than $1.4 million. (avn.com, more at xbiz.com)

Porn Fight: John Stagliano Vs. The World
The back-and-forth legal maneuvering between our government and our nation's pornographers may not get you hot, even if it gets you bothered—it even makes our eyes glaze over sometimes. But it is occasionally instructive to keep tabs on who is being put in jail with your tax dollars. It's also hard to have a First Amendment debate over a title like "Storm Squirters 2: Target Practice" without giggling, but it helps that the Supreme Court has no sense of humor. More »

Boobs Vs. Ice Cream: What Would Your City Rather Lick?
You may remember a couple of months back when an indicted pornographer wanted to use the "Google Defense" to prove his innocence in a obscentiy trial. As a legal question, obscenity is usually defined as some sort of violation of acceptable "community standards." But how do you know what your community finds acceptable? Ask Google, of course! If people in your community enjoy searching for and reading about "butt sex," then the back door must be acceptable—right? More »

Four and a half years after that infamous "wardrobe malfunction" that shook the world, a federal appeals court has overturned the $550,000 fine the FCC slapped on CBS for showing the entire planet Janet Jackson's right boob ... which means that the sum total of the entire saga is officially nothing. Our long national nightmare is (finally? please?) over. (abcnews.go.com) -

Coming For A Cause: Just About Everybody You've Ever Masturbated To In "Defend Our Porn"

the law
Remember that new law in Indiana which required adult stores to register with the government and pay a fee to stay in business? Unsurprisingly—or surprisingly, depending how optimistic you are about such things—a federal judge has ruled against it, citing that it was broad enough to effect "unquestionably lawful, nonobscene, nonpornographic materials being sold to adults." Which is good news for anyone trying to buy a copy of, say, Juggs anywhere in Indiana—you are just reading it for the articles, right? (suntimes.com) -

The obscenity trial of Ray Guhn Productions in Florida has ended in a plea deal—interestingly, the defendants pled guilty to financial and racketeering charges, not the obscenity ones—which means we won't get to see the "Google apple pie orgy" defense in action. That's too bad, because we really love pie. (pnj.com) -

Obscenity A La Mode?
Max Hardcore might have been getting all the attention lately, but another obscenity trial in Florida is currently underway where the defense is using Google search stats to prove that "community standards" are a lot broader than some people might think: apparently, searching for the term "orgy" is just as all-American as searching for "apple pie". (No word on people who search for "apple pie orgy", though—maybe even community standards have their limits.) (freespeechcoalition.com + nytimes.com) -

So yeah, that judge's not-so-secret porn stash the media has been all a-flutter about the past few days? Totally lame—even those painted cow babes were not nearly as interesting as we'd hoped they would be. Then again, we'd much rather look at tboring stuff like this that the material he was supposed to be sitting on that upcoming trial about. We're not that blasé about smut, you know.

Dirty, Dirty Justice
A judge who plays with a penis pump while in the courtroom is just a perv, but a judge who maintains a publically accessible personal website with photos of "masturbation, public sex and contortionist sex ... a slide show striptease featuring a transsexual, and a folder that contained a series of photos of women's crotches as seen through snug fitting clothing or underwear" sounds totally like someone we'd want to hang out with (even if that whole bodypainted-women-as-cows thing sounds a little dodgy). Hey, if that obscenity trial he's supposed to sit on doesn't work out maybe we can hire him to hire to work at Fleshbot? Sounds like he knows where to find the good stuff. (latimes.com - thanks SG) -

The Attorney General of New York admirably wants to put a stop to child porn online. His less-than-admirable solution? Order ISPs to effectively turn off all 100,000+ Usenet discussion groups, even though only a small handful of them ever engage in any illegal activity. Why not nuke the entire internet while you're at it? It's the only way to really be sure. (cnet.com, via Valleywag)

Max Hardcore Trial Update
So far, most of the legal wrangling in the obscenity trial of Paul Little (a.k.a. Max Hardcore) has been a prolonged argument about just how much porn a jury needs to see in order to determine if it's obscene. Believe it or not, it's the defense team that is saying they need to see all of it, a strategy which could backfire. After watching eight hours of hardcore porn in a packed courtroom, even we might get the urge to convict someone. (avn.com + tampabay.com + foxnews.com) -

Wikipedia Is Filled With Hardcore Porn! [citation needed]
As you may be aware, Wikipedia is a free online encyclopedia that is written and edited by nerds who do all the work for free in an attempt to gather all human knowledge into one comprehensive database. But according to the conservative bulldog World Net Daily, it is also a repository for salacious, hardcore pornographic material. Like strippers! Gay homosexual sex! And titty fucking! In fact, they might as well start selling monthly subscriptions and buying ads in AVN Online! Check out their list of moral-destroying smut that's totally accessible to everyone ... More »

the law
Wondering how that latest obscenity indictment is going to affect your porn viewing habits? Well, no one really knows at this point since apparently it's just the tip of a very messy iceberg: one First Amendment lawyer consulted by AVN on the matter says there could be "a titanic battle over two major constitutional issues" in the making. There's also a lot of information about various statutes that have been passed and rewritten over the years, but we're already getting a little nervous just considering all the possible repercussions: a world without dirtpipe milkshakes is just too awful to think about.

Belladonna's "Fetish Fanatic 5": Defend Your Right To Anal Squirting!
Stores like Adult DVD Empire may have already pulled our gal Belladonna's newly federally indicted "Fetish Fanatic 5" from their online inventory, but as of this afternoon you can still see the trailer for it on Evil Angel's site. Frankly, after watching it two or three or a dozen times we can't see what all the brouhaha is about; after all, things like enemas, squirting, and inserting dildos with one's (or someone else's) feet are hardly rare in porn these days—and as Evil Angel's Karen Stagliano told AVN today, "Maybe you don't always do (these things) in your normal bedroom, but that's kind of the point of porn." Even if the case doesn't lead to a prosecution, the indictment is bound to have a chilling effect on the adult industry, not to mention on our collective rights to free expression in general. After all, if you can't watch Belladonna and her pals stick various brightly colored liquids and foreign objects up each other's asses, the terrorists will so totally have won. More » -

After failing to get JM Productions on obscenity charges last year, the Justice Department is now targeting Evil Angel and its owner John Stagliano; the feds handed down a grand jury indictment against the company earlier this week. You wouldn't think a film with a nice wholesome title like "Milk Nymphos" would get anyone in trouble, would you? (avn.com + xbiz.com)

While we're happy to hear that the federal government has dropped its obscenity charges against hardcore purveyor JM Productions (for now, anyway), we're finding it hard to believe that they did so due to a lack of evidence. Our copy of "American Bukakke 13" didn't just materialize our of nowhere, you know. (Or maybe we dreamt it?) (AVN) -

The War On Porn: Your Tax Dollars (Not) At Work
If you think we have a pretty good job—surfing the internet for porn 19 hours a day—you'd be right. But we recently learned about two retired police officers who are also paid to look at smut online, only instead of blogging about it, they have to decide if the website owners should be prosecuted by the federal government for obscenity. Best of all ... you're paying for it! How does that work, you ask? More » -
