US Couple Gets Prison Time For Internet Obscenity
angry tapir writes "The husband and wife owners of a California company that distributed pornographic materials over the Internet have been each sentenced to one year and one day in prison. Extreme Associates and owners Robert Zicari, also known as Rob Black, 35, and his wife, Janet Romano, aka Lizzie Borden, 32, pleaded guilty in March to a felony charge of conspiracy to distribute obscene material through the mail and over the Internet."
What the fuck has happened to the US?
Only vanilla sex as needed for procreation is legal in the US. We only begrudgingly accept homosexuality. The article doesn't say but my guess is that they were distributing videos containing the more extreme types of sexual activity which is still considered "depraved" enough to throw people in jail. It used to be that a lot of these types of acts were difficult to come by in the VHS and DVD era but with the explosion in online video the banned activities are becoming available since the USPS is cut out of the picture. Their mistake was to not keep a low profile to keep the government prudes off their case.
I am becoming gerund, destroyer of verbs.
Remember, guns don't kill people. Amendments kill people.
This is what happens when you let fat ugly feminists roam free in the justice system.
Did you miss that Extreme Associates pleaded guilty? There's no dispute about whether the material meets the definition of "obscene." It's not going to the Supreme Court.
