Censorship is never over for those who have experienced it. It is a brand on the imagination that affects the individual who has suffered it, forever.

Three face federal obscenity charges for online porn |
|
|
admin writes "Three men were indicted by a grand jury in Dallas, Texas, on charges stemming from their sale of adult videos from their Web site. The three men were former business partners of Garry and Tamara Ragsdale, who were earlier sentanced to prison on obscenity charges. The videos in question featured staged rape scenes and BDSM depictions. Like the ongoing "Extreme Associates" case, this new case also involves both content that was mailed to physical locations in the United States as well as content that was available for download from the Internet."

Congress Mulls Parents' Empowerment Act |
|
|
|
admin writes "Family News in Focus is reporting that Congress is considering enacting a new law that would allow parents to sue Web site owners for $10,000 if they place material that is "harmful to minors" in a place that it can be "reasonable" expected that children would access. The "harmful to minors" label could conceivably include not just sex acts, but simple nudity, violence (think video games) and even some medical information. This would of course affect all free sites, TGP sites, Web site tours, and a number of other forms of erotic expression. "
