These quotes from John Ashcroft don't sit well at all. I wonder if he actually watched 'Forced Entry', I have to admit, that is pretty crazy shit. Regardless, I fear dark days to come.

From the LA Times article: The U.S. Justice Department said that its 10-count indictment against Extreme Associates and the husband-and-wife team that owns it is part of a renewed enforcement of federal obscenity laws after more than a decade in which they were rarely imposed. Several more prosecutions of "major purveyors and producers of adult obscenity" are expected in the coming months, the government said in a statement.

"Today's indictment marks an important step in the Department of Justice's strategy for attacking the proliferation of adult obscenity," U.S. Atty. Gen. John Ashcroft said in a statement. "The Justice Department will continue to focus our efforts on targeted obscenity prosecutions that will deter others from producing and distributing obscene material."

"The lack of enforcement of federal obscenity laws during the 1990s has led to a proliferation of obscenity throughout the United States, such as the violent and degrading material charged in this case," said a statement by U.S. Atty. Mary Beth Buchanan, who brought the case to the federal grand jury in Pittsburgh. "Distributors of obscenity may be prosecuted under federal law in any district in the country where products are sold."

Have no fear,Owen,for everybody that's associated with the industry,which includes all performers,filmmakers,producers,writers,and fans,are all strongly untied and ready to do battle against the all-too-corrupt anti-free speech forces that Ashcorft will attempt to throw upon us,but will mightily fail in what he yearns to do,since we are all a much larger group than his Republicans buddies,and are confident that all in porn will fully survive and remain intact,and completely unscratched.
