*Look at DMs regarding cartoon minors having sex* Once again, I said "technically illegal, rarely prosecuted." There have been successful convictions based on "loli" stuff. Guys, I specifically cited a 4th Circuit case. I didn't pull it out of my ass. http://caselaw.findlaw.com/us-4th-circuit/1431669.html …pic.twitter.com/Ca4WC4eCJ3
Notably, there IS dissension on this, and it is NOT settled law everywhere in the U.S. at this time. Even in the Whorley case, one dissent pointed our some absurdity in applying criminal standards to imaginary characters.pic.twitter.com/WYgQCGpUrD
I was waiting for someone to bring up Whorley!
I feel like I've just been repeatedly screaming "Whorley" over the past 24 hours.
This is why it's unwise to argue law with a lawyer... unless you yourself are a lawyer.
It’s unwise to argue law with a prepared lawyer even if you ARE a lawyer, unless you are also a prepared lawyer. However, it does not work in reverse. You may think you’re prepared, but if you’re not a lawyer don’t argue law with one, you will not do well.
I feel like I got dunked on.
Wasn’t trying to dunk you. :) Just saying, lawyers are like wizards: only sort of dangerous when taken by surprise, but if you give them time to cast, you are about to learn the true meaning of FWOOSH.
Oh, I totally meant it in a good way. I do a space news segment for a podcast and the host got to talk briefly to Buzz Aldrin. He tried to get Buzz to say "Keep looking up space fans" and Buzz replied saying it's not up and down, it inward and outward. I love dunks like that.
Oh, hey! I heard that one. Love your space news segments.
Thanks, glad you enjoy them so much.
So, when's the betting pool start on how long before either 1) You're buried under "But what if...." DMs trying to establish a baseline in their jurisdiction or 2) Someone inevitably suggests something you will feel the need to report to law enforcement ?
Part of the problem in these arguments, I have found, is that "obscenity" is a term of art and doesn’t mean the same thing to a lawyer that it does to a normal person, but like “obvious” it’s also a word commonly used by laypeople so they don’t realize that.
If you’re reading this, you have to understand this: if whatever it is is “obscene,” AS DEFINED IN LAW, you are done. It is not protected speech and you can go to prison for making it or having it, period, argument over.
And if you think you know what obscenity is, unless you are a lawyer or a VERY well read layperson, you are probably wrong. And this is the kind of wrong that gets your furry butt thrown in a hole so deep they have to pack in daylight by mule train.
That probably also applies to most lawyers, if we're honest. We might be able to remember "appeals to the prurient interest" and "contemporary community standards", but there's a lot of difference between being able to recite those elements & reliably apply them.
More than fair.

That Thing When the same thing keeps showing up in your sphere...https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20180227/11532039321/judge-tells-prosecutors-they-need-to-prove-contractor-knew-he-had-classified-docs-his-50-terabyte-stash.shtml#c415 …
Sounds like the whole "famous expensive artist that rhymes with 'raush'" thing is getting hot, and not in a good way. Stand by to stand by, and wear your flak vest, this shit is gonna be nasty.
