HP, I see where you are coming from but the example you used should answer most of your own points ...
Naughty Nuns & Nazis #45
As an industry we have become saturated with obscenity to the point that we can't tell where the line is anymore ... when this happens, the law usually cracks down hard for a while then softens.
Here's a simple question ...
Do you think its acceptable to put an advertisement on TV at any time of the day or night with no pre warning for Naughty Nuns & Nazi's with a pic of a nun pulling her cheeks apart & saying "Watch these Nazi's fuck these nuns up the ass and pop their christian cherries"?
If the answer is NO, then how can it be unreasonable to attempt to stop it online, whether the solution is a perfect one or not?
And if the answer is YES, good luck in court
While no 2 people can agree on what the definition of obscene is, *MOST* video stores in the brick and mortar world don't stock material even half as offensive as what we provide online. And of those that do, how many cases do you see brought to trial? Or even cases where legal action is taken? I could count the ones I remember on 1 hand ...
