College Rivalries: National American University Vs. Naughty America University

File under "Lamest Lawsuit Ever": National American University is suing Naughty America, claiming that the site Naughty America University (not Naughty American University, as USA Today incorrectly reports) infringes on trademarks and is potentially confusing.

Free Janine (And Look At Her Naked!)

Could Elder Porn Become The New Child Porn?

Could Massachusetts really make it illegal to feature anyone over 60 in a pornographic film? Has the state never heard of performers like Dave Cummings and Shigeo Tokuda? More »

But What About The Facials?

In a move that, well, we're mildly confused by, the Oregon House has passed a bill making it illegal to douse someone with semen, categorizing the act as a second degree sex abuse crime. More »

Kardashian Porn Spoof Lands Hustler In Hot Water

Months ago, we reported that Hustler was shooting a porn spoof of Kim Kardashian's reality show—not to be confused with Venom's earlier porn spoof of the same subject, or, furthermore, the actual Kim Kardashian porn. More »

It seems pervs aren't the only ones angry about the UK's recent ban on "extreme" porn: comic book fans are protesting the law, which could restrict their reading material. And their comics, too! (avn.com, thumbnail)

No One Likes Porn-Free Internet

Well, what do you know—the FCC has delayed a vote on their to create a free wireless network with absolutely no porn. Apparently some people have a problem with it. (Like, uh, us.) (alleyinsider.com, thumb)

Sex Workers Get Slammed, Eliot Spitzer Gets Off

It's a sad week for sex workers: not only was Proposition K, a San Francisco initiative that would have decriminalized prositution, soundly defeated; but now Craigslist is cracking down on their erotic services section, requiring "vendors" to verify their identities by providing a valid credit card to pay a small listing fee. Meanwhile, Eliot Spitzer won't be facing federal charges for his episode of gov love. Isn't justice great? (time.com + nytimes.com + gawker.com)

Pornographers For Obama

Somewhat not surprisingly, Porn Valley is rejoicing in the wake of Barack Obama's election. True, a McCain/Palin presidency would have led to a great deal of porntastic source material (largely on the Palin end), but with Obama in the White House, there's hope that we might see an end to all those nasty obscenity trials (and, perhaps, even the War on Porn). Let's all keep our fingers crossed that Obama has more important things to do than harrass the adult entertainment industry... and, uh, that he doesn't find out about any of that Obama porn that's out there (or that he has a good sense of humor!). (xbiz.com)

Tired of prostitution busts and police harassment that is driving customers away, New York City's dominatrices are forming a political action committee in order to lobby for their rights. If that doesn't work, well ... let's just say they have ways of getting what they want. (nypost.com)

This Week In Frivolous Lawsuits

Listen very carefully, because we're only going to say this once: Lexus is a line of luxury automobiles put out by Toyota. Alexus Winston is a naked model affiliated with Infinity Studios (and sometimes seen in Best Of Babelogs). We're not really sure how someone would confuse the two — but apparently this was a major concern, as Toyota recently filed suit against Alexus, who's now going by Alex. Were you able to keep that all straight? Good for you! We're just hoping they don't find out about all that porn we made under the name Prius Corolla. (avn.com)

Aspiring lawyers take note: you may not accept lap dances from your clients as a form of payment. However, it is still permissible to settle your legal bills by stuffing singles into your attorney's belt. (chicagotribune.com; legal scholar Danni Ashe via boobsmodels.com via)

The DA of Bedford County, Pennsylvania says that just because he had sex with a woman he wasn't married to in his public courthouse office doesn't mean he committed a crime. And he ought to know—he is the district attorney, after all. (post-gazette.com; legal eagles via brazzers.com)

Thinking of downloading an Evil Angel title from a file sharing network the next time you're feeling frisky? You might get more than you bargained for ... you know, like a lawsuit. Might be better just to find something less risky to fap to somewhere else and save your pennies to buy an Evil Angel DVD later on instead. Especially while you still can. (p2p-blog.com - thanks JR)

Three years ago, the Houston police confiscated $50,000 worth of toys from a local sex shop and now that the charges have been dropped and they want their property back ... all the evidence has mysteriously gone missing. If only there was someone you could turn to when your things get stolen! (chron.com + avn.com)

Remember when we pointed out how ridiculous it was that lawyers were collecting $1.3 million for suing a videogame company over sex scenes that they didn't even make while the people who they were supposedly "protecting" only got $30,000? Well, at least one judge agrees with us: the "Hot Coffee" settlement has been rejected by the courts, because it turns out that no one was actually offended by the sex in "Grand Theft Auto." And here we were thinking we were the only ones. (Kotaku)

You thrilled to his misanthropic natterings in this weekend's New York Times Magazine cover story ... now read all about the news that notorious "Craigslist Experiment" troll Jason Fortuny is getting sued by one of its victims for "act(ing) with actual malice to harm and deceive the individuals responding to the Craigslist ad." Hey, even allegedly arrogant, self-centered, nasty, egotistic, and sadistic dudes on Craigslist have feelings too, y'know. (10zenmonkeys.com)

One Life, Take Two: What's Next?

So what's a well respected bisexual educator and sex blogger to do when he finds himself caught up in an ugly custody battle with his ex-spouse? Well, try to pay off his legal expenses for one—which is why several of his fellow travellers in the sex blog community are getting together to help the author of "One Life, Take Two" (and long time Fleshbot Sex Blog Roundup contributor) with the Friends of Jefferson Legal Defense Fund. If you've enjoyed his work over the years—or simply care about things like free speech and the right to sexual expression—you might want to consider kicking in a few bucks. After all, it could happen to you. (Assuming you're a polysexual sex blogger caught in an ugly custody battle, that is. Hey, you never know.)

Apparently even porn-hating conservative types have to admit that the Child Online Protection Act is pretty stupid: after all, it's never been enforced, it's never going to be enforced, and it's clearly unconstitutional. So maybe we should stop wasting everyone's time by arguing about it and (gasp!) police ourselves? That's just crazy enough to work! (heraldextra.com)

The 3rd U.S. Circurt Court of Appeals has upheld last year's lower court ruling that declared the Child Online Protection Act unconstitutional. That doesn't mean they hate children, just that Congress isn't very good at censoring porn from the internet ... for now. (wired.com; Penny Flame's dramatization of what could have been, via AskJolene)

The great Janine Lindemulder is in a bit of a pickle with the IRS, who want $80,000 in back takes or they'll take it out of her ... well ... actually, that part might not be in her contract. Here she is in happier, unindicted times.(thesmokinggun.com)

Oh, The Humanity!

Authorities in London were left with over 40,000 unlicensed porn DVDs that were seized along with adult magazines and sex toys in recent raids, and their solution for dealing with the two tons of fap material was to (gasp) burn them in an incinerator? Maybe if we promised to give them a good home they won't have to resort to such drastic measures the next time. (24dash.com)

Debating Porn (Again): What Is Obscene Anyway?

"Should there be an obscenity law that outlaws a product that is made with informed adult consent with no laws being broken, and that is increasingly distributed and consumed in complete privacy?" More »

Ellicott City, Maryland, has spent 11 years battling "The Pack Shack" adult store and all they've managed to do is pass a few unconstitutional laws and give $187,000 in tax money to the store's owners. But at least now they can choose from a fine selection of used paperbacks to go with the sex toys and lingerie. Maybe City Hall just can't fight a determined sex shop? (baltimoresun.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)

The Justice Department wants to amend the 2257 regulations (again) with the apparent goal of making them even more difficult to comprehend and abide by. Maybe this kind of stuff is what lawyers use to get off? (avn.com)
