There have most certainly, however, been laws to prevent disseminating smutfic and various materials considered obscene to minors, which is what I was trying to talk about and quoted from the usdoj website.
Really? I don’t know what “Transfer of Obscene Material to Minors” means but I seriously doubt its smutfic that they are referring to. As I said the prosecution must show that you intentionally targeted children with obscenity. And now we are talking about hardcore porn. Those embroiled in legal matters are also always commercial sites I’ve been told. And written erotica also enjoys a greater protection under American free speech then pictures and movies.
There are plenty of free American erotic stories sites with heavier content and less protection then this place which led me too the conclusion that this place has little if anything to fear from American law. Suing or prosecuting this place for obscenity (with warning that the site host adult content) should be just about impossible and a court ruling otherwise well that is just.. far out.
My other point was that you shouldn't necessarily use sites already in existence as examples for what is legal. Just because a site is in existence, does not mean that it is not open to prosecution.
True, but if the hypothetical transgression is so widespread and so much more extreme, it’s a reasonable assumption. (And the US has the largest porn industry in the world which suggests they are not that sensitive.)
Anyway I haven’t had a chance to explore it, but Caroline made me consider the cease and desist thing, copyright holder apparently can chose to hunt communities when the fanfic is smutty and receive a attention, and they have greater legal opportunities to act, not on grounds of obscenity but infringement.
BTW Aria I’m a great fan of your videos and taste in music. You made me discover a lot of artists I didn’t know about.
