Porn Fight: John Stagliano Vs. The World

The back-and-forth legal maneuvering between our government and our nation’s pornographers may not get you hot, even if it gets you bothered–it even makes our eyes glaze over sometimes. But it is occasionally instructive to keep tabs on who is being put in jail with your tax dollars. It’s also hard to have a First Amendment debate over a title like “Storm Squirters 2: Target Practice” without giggling, but it helps that the Supreme Court has no sense of humor.

Evil Angel head honcho John Stagliano is the latest target of the Justice Department, but he’s fighting back the American Way–through the news media. In this video interview with Reason TV he shares his thoughts on his ongoing obscenity case and explains why you should care about it. And it’s not to sell another copy of “Milk Nymphos.” (Although if you’re interested we could probably find you one.)

    Really great interview, thanks for posting that… I’ve been tracking this story on adultdvdtalk.com since Tricia Devereaux broke the news and I do kinda wish it would actually receive greater media attention. I realize the downside is that the conservative or religious right would be able to shout out how they believe this is a fair indictment, it would at least bring the argument to a public stage and the defense could express their winning statements, such as how if this succeeds, then the government simply going to come after some other aspect of our freedom and stamp it out as well. Plus the privacy issue can be debated, the ever-changing definition of obscene and how it is in the eye of the beholder, and all the insightful comments John makes here. It simply makes me angry that this is happening to him in the first place… give ‘em hell, John!
