This version includes two columns of commentary by the Dept of Justice "explaining" their intentions and addressing our complaints about the law. |
18 USC 2257

| 1998-2004 DOJ vs. Visa/Mastercard
I include a link to the ending of this six-year case because many people claim that the government quietly forced Visa/Mastercard to enact tough anti-porn guidelines, by threatening them with follow-up lawsuits of this nature. I have no written substantiation of this suggestion, however, even an ex-employee of Visa verbally confirmed this (he recalls having been at a meeting where govt officials told them what to do), and, it's notable that the content crackdowns began at about the same time that this case ended. |

As for the big corporations that are now distributing pornography... they need to exercise discretion. The Justice Department is currently investigating 50 cases across the country." |

| First Amendment - Justice Douglas' opinion
Justice Douglas' dissenting opinion: "The idea that the First Amendment permits government to ban publications that are 'offensive' to some people puts an ominous gloss on freedom of the press. That test would make it possible to ban any paper or any journal or magazine in some benighted place. The First Amendment was designed 'to invite dispute,' to induce 'a condition of unrest,' to 'create dissatisfaction with conditions as they are,' and even to stir 'people to anger.' The idea that the First Amendment permits punishment for ideas that are 'offensive' to the particular judge or jury sitting in judgment is astounding. No greater leveler of speech or literature has ever been designed. To give the power to the censor, as we do today, is to make a sharp and radical break with the traditions of a free society. The First Amendment was not fashioned as a vehicle for dispensing tranquilizers to the people. Its prime function was to keep debate open to 'offensive' as well as to 'staid' people. The tendency throughout history has been to subdue the individual and to exalt the power of government. The use of the standard 'offensive' gives authority to government that cuts the very vitals out of the First Amendment. As is intimated by the Court's opinion, the materials before us may be garbage. But so is much of what is said in political campaigns, in the daily press, on TV, or over the radio. By reason of the First Amendment - and solely because of it - speakers and publishers have not been threatened or subdued because their thoughts and ideas may be 'offensive' to some." |
