wdef writes with the lead from a story that may bring you a big sigh of relief:

Quote"Free internet porn is not illegal. Nor is it unfairly competing with porn companies who'd rather you paid for your thrills, according to a California Appeals Court, which has dismissed a case against one free site, Redtube.com, as an unfair attack on free speech."

Interestingly, this case was brought not by anyone objecting to pornography on moral grounds, but rather by a competitor who reasons that "free" is a hard price to compete with, unless it's against the law.

Just imagine all the "research" that went into this case...

Whoever filed that simply does not understand how modern porn is monetized.  It's all adverts now.  Silly pornmonger.

Lemme get this straight.  They sued to stop the distribution of one channel of free internet porn, in order to prop up their own business... thereby providing the address of said free porn to thousands of people who may never have heard of said free porn site.

I've heard of it being illegal to sell something that it's legal to give away, but this is the first time I've heard of anyone trying to make it illegal to give away something that it's legal to sell.

You do him an injustice.

It will be multiple rentboys, none of whom speak English, all doped to the gills on valium and booze.  Dirty Ricky will make a statement blaming the "liberal media" for setting him up.
