Best to support the guy, even if you don't like what he does.

Personally, I think the guy is pretty ballsy for going right back out there and putting himself right back in the limelight. He could be the new Larry Flynt for all we know. :)

Ken,

I was thinking the same thing but guess I didn't have the balls to say it. I remember when Larry Flynt was constantly embroiled in legal fights fighting the system. Their were many at the time that thought he was crazy. Of course, as it turns out, he paved the way for all of us to be able to do what we do in the adult entertainment business.

Not a lot of difference between what is currently happening with Wilson and what the government tried to do with Flynt. It's called censorship and the erosion of Liberty. Thank God Larry had the balls to fight the system and thank God Wilson does.

Well, I'm not going to say that everything this guy does is totally altruistic, and I can't say I necessarily admire the guy for putting gore shots on his site, but I do think that this case is a very important one for us all to pay attention to.

I agree totally that everything Christopher Wilson is doing is not altruistic, but then some of the stuff Larry Flynt did wasn't either. The posting of gore and dead and wounded Americans and Iraqui's on a website by not be our "cup of tea", but it certainly isn't illegal and is protected by the 1st Amendment guaranteeing freedom of speech.

I remember seeing in Hustler magazine the picture of a cock sitting on a dinner plate. Looked like the cock had been sawed off someone. Personally I thought it was disgusting. And even tho it wasn't my thing, the 1st Amendment guaranteed his right to publish it and Larry was sued over it and did win, thus protecting the right of free speech for all of us.

D. H. Lawrence said it best when he said "Men fight for Liberty and win it with hard knocks. Their children, brought up easy, let it slip away again, poor fools. And their grandchildren are once more slaves."
Let us not, the new adult entertainment generation, allow are Liberties to be taken for granted, and thus, lose them.

Chris Wilson agrees to plea... must stay out of adult for 5 years...
article

I guess that under the circumstances, it's a pretty good deal for Wilson, He gets 295 charges against him dropped, only pays a $500 fine, stays out of jail and has 90 days to get his affairs in order before he has to get out of the adult webmaster business. I'm guessing it'll go into someone else's name in another country and he will still profit from it.

At issue for us is what the the Appelate Courts says as to why they granted the Writ of Habeas Corpus and and let Wilson out of jail. According to Lawrence Walters, the answer may have some positive impact on future internet obscenity cases. That could be a good thing!:cool:
