New Battles in the Anti-Porn War

On the heels of our viewing in the Media Law course of the documentary film, "Inside Deep Throat," comes this dispatch from the AP's David Crary:

Anti-porn activists are seeking new tactics to fight an unprecedented deluge of porn which they see as wrecking countless marriages and warping human sexuality. They are urging federal prosecutors to pursue more obscenity cases and raising funds for high-tech brain research that they hope will fuel lawsuits against porn magnates.

Law students should take a read of this story in time for next Tuesday's class, during which we'll discuss the film and tie it in with our textbook chapter on obscenity.
